Re: home ownership, right to sell
It depends if the house was bought during the marriage. If it was then you need your spouse to sign a wavier of the Entireties Privilege.
Even if you bought the house before you were married some title companies or mortgage lenders will want the wavier in the file before they issue title insurance or give a mortgage loan on the property.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
