MIR..A lot of things are history, that doesn't mean they are accepted by the people, only time will give us that answer.
And your comment about "we". Two individuals may jointly own a home, not married, and they do own the property and have the right to sell it. Has nothing to do with access.
I guess neither of us know what we are talking about for now, unless I got out the original paperwork, which would clearly indicate what type of ownership I have.
