Does my spouse have to sign my deeds in the State of North Carolina?

February 13, 2018 | Cecil Harvell

Yes.  In the State of North Carolina, the joinder of a spouse is required to pass clear title.  The exception to this rule would be if there is a free trader or pre nuptial agreement.

Yes, we all understand that the title into our spouse may have been inherited property or even property bought by the spouse before the marriage.  Notwithstanding, due to estate rights in the estate of a spouse, the signature of the spouse is needed when the property is sold or mortgaged.

If there are any questions relative to these deed conveyances, please do not hesistate to contact your lawyer.
