My story is very consistent. My name is on the deed. When we got he house, we had my partner purchase the property and then I was added right away with a quitclaim deed.
That makes sense. Explains why partner is the only one on the mortgage. But it was 16 years ago. Wouldn't hurt to be a little cautious. I suggest you get on to your county recorder of deeds website and look up the two deeds to the property: the first when partner bought the house and the second when the quitclaim deed was done. Even if you have a copy of the quitclaim deed, you need to make sure it was properly recorded.

Would you mind telling why you weren't on the mortgage when the house was bought? Did you have a credit issue? Do you have a credit issue now? That will have a bearing on who buys who out.
