Can estranged husband sell house without me?
My estranged husband and I have been married for 26 years, live in California and are currently going through a divorce. We own a house together and found out today that he had enlisted a lawyer and signed a agreement with a realtor to sell the house without my consent? How is this possible? I am listed on both the mortgage and the deed. Doesn't he need my signatures as well to list and sell the house?|||The REALTORåº didn't do his research. You can't list with just one owner because it requires all owners to come on board and sign the listing agreement. When the REALTORåº does the title search and sees that you're on title, I think he'll probably backtrack and get in touch with you (or your ex husband will) to sign the listing agreement. Any offer made on the home can't be accepted without every single owner's signature. It's impossible to transfer the title/deed without the signatures of all the owners.|||Unless he plans on taking you to court to force a sale, he can NOT sell the property without you.|||yes, he cannot sell it without your signature|||Take a loan out on it.Drain the equity. And trash and burn
