A simpler house-sale discussion

Ownership and court papers
Who can sign? Start with the deed and any court order
There is no reliable answer based only on the fact that you are married or divorcing. The deed and county property records show how the home is titled. A title company reviews the documents and confirms which signatures it needs for closing. A divorce summons, written agreement, or court order may also affect what can happen with the house.
In Minnesota, serving a divorce summons brings temporary restrictions on disposing of assets, subject to exceptions in the law and changes by the court. Read the actual summons and orders with your attorney and closing team before relying on a sale plan.
Minnesota divorce statutes
Minn. Stat. § 518.091 explains the temporary restrictions included with a divorce summons.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Marshall divorce-sale questions
Can we talk about selling before the divorce is final?
Yes. You can call or use the form to start a conversation before the divorce is final. Whether the house can be sold at that point depends on the deed and any summons or court orders; Minnesota law can place temporary restrictions on disposing of assets.
Do both spouses have to sign?
It depends on how the property is titled and what the applicable court papers require. We do not guess based only on marital status. The Lyon County property-record links are a starting point, and the title company reviews the documents to confirm the signatures needed for closing.
What if we have not settled every disagreement?
You can talk with us about the house before every practical issue is settled. Tell us what is difficult; the deed and applicable court papers still determine what authorization and signatures are needed for a sale.
Can we sign from different places?
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 do not have to attend settlement or even visit the property.
Who pays closing costs?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
How soon will we get a written cash offer?
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
