Hello, my husband and I purchased a home in California and file as joint tenants on the deed. I was the primary on the loan application, and my husband secondary applicant. But my husband is convinced that somehow he has no legal claim to the property - unless I die. He is afraid that if something happened between us, I could kick him out and he would have no claim on the house that we bought together. All our paperwork (mortgage bill, etc) comes in only my name. But our deed really does say, "Joint Tenants." How do I convince my husband that he is an equal owner even though his name was second on the mtg?

The term "joint tenants" itself states that both of you are the owners of the property. As you were primary on the loan application, so the mortgage bills come in your name. Your husband and you can contact a real estate attorney and he will help you in convincing your husband.
