AITAH For kicking out the real estate lawyer that my fiance brought to my house?
The original poster (OP), a woman, has been engaged to her fiancé, Scott, for a short period following the recent inheritance of a house from her late mother.
Scott proposed shortly after she became the official owner, stating that this new a*set signaled readiness for marriage, despite his initial desire to wait.
The conflict began when Scott insisted that OP immediately add his name to the deed of the house to es**blish "balance" in their relationship, even though OP earns more money.
When OP refused to do this before the wedding, Scott escalated the situation by unilaterally bringing a real estate lawyer to the house to begin the legal process, leading OP to ask the lawyer to leave.
This action caused a severe fight, resulting in Scott calling OP selfish and uncooperative before storming out and ignoring her calls. OP is now questioning if her reaction was wrong.

The core of the conflict lies in the differing views on trust, commitment, and financial partnership preceding marriage.
OP feels her boundaries regarding the premarital transfer of a significant inherited a*set were v***ated by Scott's secretive and aggressive actions.
Scott, conversely, views OP's refusal and subsequent dismissal of his lawyer as a sign of disrespect and unwillingness to commit to their shared future.
The central question remains whether OP was wrong to immediately halt the legal proceedings and eject the lawyer after Scott bypa*sed their agreement.
Readers must weigh the importance of OP protecting her inherited property against Scott's a*sertion that his actions were necessary steps toward es**blishing marital s**bility and partnership.
