Collins - Real Estate Title Requirements OIEST: A transferred employee who provided part of the funds to purchase a residence at his new duty station arranged to have title placed in a friend's name at the time of the purchase. Although the employee subsequently married his friend and acquired joint ownership of the residence, his claim for real estate purchase expenses may not be allowed. He did not meet the requirement of the applicable regulations that title to the residence purchased be in the name of the employee or a member of his immediate family.
