Bit of a bump here. Common law relationship do NOT have the same dower rights to property that full marriage provides. If polak and his girlfriend break up, she is not entitled to half the house or even half of his stuff. Likewise, he is not entitled to half of her stuff either. She could potentially try to sue for other things (alimony) or if there were renovations/upgrades put into the house that she helped with.
TLDR: polak doesn't need a prenup or any sort of agreement regarding the house if he is the one buying it and will be the only one on title.
