The recorded deed is a useful starting point, but it may not answer every question in a divorce sale. A divorce agreement or court order about the property may affect what needs to happen before closing. The title company reviews the deed and relevant papers to confirm the required documents and signatures.
Do not assume that marital status, who lives in the house, or who pays the bills answers who can sign. A Tennessee family-law attorney can explain how an order applies to your situation. You can start a conversation with us while those papers are being reviewed.
