Who can sign? Start with the deed and any court order
The recorded deed is the starting point for whose names are on the Fayetteville house. If a court order addresses the property or sale proceeds, the title company needs to review it too. The title company checks the deed and closing documents and confirms which signatures this sale requires.
An attorney can explain what a divorce order means for your situation. You can talk with us about the house while that question is being worked out; a conversation does not require you to have every disagreement settled first.
Bring us the problem before every disagreement is settled
Different schedules, repair questions, or limited access can make a sale hard to coordinate. Tell us what is happening with the house, and we can discuss the property before every issue is resolved.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above with the Fayetteville address and what is making the sale difficult.
