I think this depends what state you are in. IANAL, but certain rights of property ownership are granted in the Illinois Civil Union bill, and I can't remember the details. In any case, I'm sure you have a real lawyer advising you :-)
I handle money and live-in pays me appropriate rent (I own the condo). I used to try to make him buy groceries and stuff, but it was so stressful, and now he just gives me the cash.
