ANSWER:

You have to make things clear and on paper!

If your wife is just helping in paying the debts, this money she is paying is a loan that must be paid back to her once you can afford it. Your contributing to the house must be also calculated and documented so that you know whether you own 10% or more or less! 

Me and my father built a house over the period of few years. My father’s contribution is maximum. However, now my wife is also planning to help us monetarily from her own money to pay off the debts we accumulated for building the house. So there is no clear bifurcation of who invested how much. How will we calculate inheritance for my sister?
