If a husband and wife own property, and the husband signs a contract to sell it to a buyer and receives the amount asked, but the wife doesn't sign... then the husband dies, then the wife, is the contract valid to the buyer?

Re: Property Contracts
Teh buyer probably has just gotten a tenancy in common with the wife, unless the deed was not recorded before teh man died, in which case the buyer may have a claim against the estate for the money paid for the worthless deed. Many more facts need to be known before a more certain answer can be given
Good Luck
