Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
Sale of marital property to purchase another, without consent of one spouse
My mother wants to sell her and my dad's property to buy another one,
and only list my sister and my mother's name on the deed.
My father does not agree to the sale of the property. However, will sign
the documents. Does his name have to appear on the new deed, since it
was his half of the propert that was used to purchase the new home?
thank you.

He should not sign anything without first speaking with a real estate attorney. he is creating a problem by letting his name be removed.

To answer your question, his name does not need to appear in the new deed. Also, if he is willing to sign documents to do something he does not agree with, then I'm confused as to why he would sign such documents. If I was your father I would not sign any documents without first having a meeting with a real estate attorney.
