Cory Wharton and Taylor Selfridge Breakup Drama: There Is Only 1 Name on the Deed to the House
Cory Wharton might be crashing out on social media over his recent breakup, but he may have seen the split coming. It looks like he took steps to protect his property long before calling it quits. Cory Wharton and Taylor Selfridge’s eight-year relationship has been called into question multiple times over the years, with Teen Mom fans questioning why he refused to marry the mother of two of his children. Now, as their breakup unfolds in real-time, it has been revealed that only Wharton’s name is listed on the deed to the house he and Selfridge built last year. What could it all mean for Selfridge?
Only Cory Wharton’s name is on the deed to the house he built with Taylor Selfridge
In 2023, Cory Wharton and Taylor Selfridge appeared to be making progress in their relationship. They purchased a large swath of property in California for nearly $2 million. The following year, they announced that they had finished building their home and were moving in. Selfridge even gave fans a tour of the property, complete with expansive family spaces and a pool in the backyard.
Now that the couple has called it quits, fans are curious to see what they will do with the property. As it turns out, Selfridge may not have a say. The U.S. Sun delved into property records and discovered something interesting. According to the publication, Cory Wharton is the only person listed on the deed to the home. Legally, he might be the home’s sole owner. That fact could have profound implications for Selfridge.
What does it all mean for the couple?
While neither Cory Wharton nor Taylor Selfridge has addressed the situation, the issue with the home’s deed could be a big problem, at least for Taylor Selfridge. Because Wharton appears as the sole owner of the property, he can basically do whatever he wants with it. He can sell it, leave it to whomever he wishes to in a will, or completely abandon it if he sees fit.
Technically, Taylor has no claim to the home as they were unmarried, and her name does not appear on the deed. According to NOLO, Selfridge could sue to recoup her financial stake in the property, but the publication advises against it, noting that such lawsuits are notoriously difficult to win.
The home’s deed could pose a significant problem. Still, the former flames may have worked out a deal of their own. A separate contract regarding ownership of the property could also exist. We likely will never know all the details. Still, we’ll keep an eye out for their next move.
