My friend is in jail and his wife wants to sell their house.?

Question

Does she have the right or can she sell THEIR house while he is detained even if he dissagrees with the selling of the house? VA

Thank you.

Answer 1

Thats messed up...

Answer 2

I'm pretty sure that if his name is on the deed that he has to sign. I don't know of a real estate agent that will put a home on the market without both signatures.

Answer 3

whose name is on the deed?

Answer 4

She cant sell if his name is on the deed. He would have to sign.

Answer 5

Tell your friend to speak to a divorce attorney. The details are pertinent, I'm sure. Every situation is different. She may not be able to. But it really depends on the circumstances regarding his charges, length of stay and all that. Very invoved.

Answer 6

if his name is on the deed she can't sell it. if his name isn't, no matter how much money he payed for it, she can. if he just lived in the house it doesn't make it his

Answer 7

Not if he is on the deed (or whatever it is referred to in VA). If he's not on it, she certainly can.
