Full question:
My husband and I have a Property Settlement Agreement. We own a home together, he is in sole possession of the home. Is he allowed to sell the home without my signature on the sales contract. My realtor says no, I must sign. He is trying to list it without me. Is that legal?

Answer:
If your name is on the deed and the Property Settlement Agreement does not specifically address this issue, your signature is required to sell the home. However, for listing the house for sale, a broker might accept only his signature, though this is uncommon when two people own the property.
