Scenario

When couples navigate unequal inherited wealth in housing purchases

My spouse and I inherited different amounts from our families and we can't agree on how to combine that money for housing without one of us feeling like we're losing independence or taking advantage. We both want to buy something together but the unequal contributions make everything feel complicated and loaded.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Disparate family resources are forcing two people to confront what equality means in their partnership when money and property are involved.
