Who needs to sign a divorce sale in Pennsylvania?
If you own the house as tenants by the entireties — a form of joint ownership for spouses — both sign the sale papers while you are married. After divorce, Pennsylvania law generally treats property formerly held that way as equal one-half shares unless a court order under the same law says otherwise (23 Pa.C.S. §3507).
The deed, divorce order, and any recorded claims against the house (liens) matter to the sale. A title professional — the person who checks ownership records and closing paperwork — or a qualified Pennsylvania attorney can review those documents and confirm who has authority to sign for this house.
What is making the sale hard to coordinate?
Tell us what is difficult. You can ask about an offer before every detail is settled.
What to expect
You can contact us before every detail is settled. These steps show how the offer, written terms, title review, and closing fit together.
Tell us about the house
Share the address, condition, who lives there, what you know about the deed or court papers, and the obstacle you want to discuss. Start with what you know.
Get a written offer
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Review the terms and title questions
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. A title company handles the closing paperwork. A title professional reviews the deed, divorce documents, mortgage and lien amounts, and required signatures for the sale.
Work through any bumps
It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.
Sign separately or from out of town
You can sign separately; we can send a notary to each of you.
Sell from anywhere in the country — we can send a notary to you, and you don't have to attend settlement or even visit the property.
Dauphin County deed records
For a deed-record question, contact the Dauphin County Recorder of Deeds through its official county page. A title professional or attorney can help check recorded liens and explain how the deed and divorce documents apply to your sale.
For county assessment information, see the Dauphin County Assessment Office.

Harrisburg divorce-sale questions
Can I call before the divorce is final?
Yes. Contact us and tell us what you know about the house. You can ask about an offer while the deed and signing details are being reviewed.
What should I have ready before I call?
Start with the property address and what is happening with the house. If you have the deed, divorce papers, a court order, or information about what is still owed on the mortgage, those details can help later; you do not need to have every answer before contacting us.
What if we disagree about repairs or how to handle the sale?
You can still talk with us about the house and explain what is difficult. A qualified Pennsylvania attorney can review the divorce documents, and a title professional can check the deed and closing requirements.
How can I compare an offer with other choices?
Use the Harrisburg net-proceeds calculator linked above with your written offer, payoff information, liens, and closing costs. It helps organize an estimate to compare with your other options.
