You should not panic, especially if you have evidence showing that you contributed money toward the purchase of the property.
Gather and keep all documents and transaction records that can prove your contribution, including bank transfers, receipts, payment acknowledgements, agreements, or any other evidence connected to the purchase.
If your name was not properly stated on the title or deed because the property was registered simply as “Mr and Mrs John,” you may need to seek legal advice on applying for a rectification or correction of the property documents. The purpose is to have the records properly reflect the legal names of the actual owners.
Your husband claiming that “Mrs John” refers to his mother does not, by itself, automatically remove your interest in the property. What matters is the evidence surrounding the purchase, including who paid for the property, the agreement between the parties, and how ownership was intended to be held.
If you can establish that you contributed to the purchase, that evidence can be important in protecting your interest and challenging any attempt to deny your ownership.
Do not ignore the matter simply because the property documents use “Mr and Mrs John.” Take the documents and your payment evidence to a property lawyer so they can examine the title and advise you on the appropriate legal action.
