If married and a spouse goes to jail does the other party have a right to sell property without consent

Question

If married and a spouse goes to jail does the other party have a right to sell property without consent



Answer

I assume that you mean real estate.

You will not be able to get a title policy on real estate without both owners signing. Therefore, most people won't buy the property since they will not have a "clean" title. Most realtors won't work with you either since both sellers are not available to sign the paperwork.

The same goes for most other property since you cannot convey a "clear" title. Most purchasers want a good and clear title of ownership.

I hope this is helpful to you.
