Domestic partners in the District of Columbia must sign on mortgages and deeds of trust even if they are not listed on the loan.

The Domestic Partnership Equality Amendment Act of  2006:  DC Code Section 15-502, states that “A mortgage, deed of trust, assignment for the benefit of creditors, or bill of sale upon exempted articles is not binding or valid unless it is signed by the spouse or domestic partner of a debtor who is living with his or her spouse or domestic partner.”  A domestic partnership must be registered with the DC Department of Health. It will be the responsibility of the buyer to ensure compliance with their lender’s requirements and any impact this law may have thereon.
