I am about to by a house in NC and I heard I need to put my spouse name and needs to sign the deed too. Is there any way to avoid this, I am paying the house cost and I do not want to go after my spouse permission when I sell it in the future.
Legally speaking she doesn't have to be on it. However if the funds used to obtain the home are in a joint account she would need to sign something that states there is no debt owed to her.
In NC you will absolutely need your spouse's signature to sell it in the future - whether his name is on it now or not. You seem to have a lot of anger and distrust of your wife, however, so maybe you won't have to worry about it in the future.
I don't know if this is possible, but you could ask an attorney if there is a way to prepare a document that assures that all proceeds of the house go to you. Something like a post-nup. It could say that your wife must agree to sell if you want and that all proceeds are yours. You could also add that the house is not to be considered community property in case of divorce. You will have a real estate attorney for your closing, but you may want to ask for a recommendation of a family law attorney for the post-nup.
I am curious though, why do you feel so strongly about her having no interest in the house? Does she work? Stay at home mom/wife?
Don't know Why your asking you married her ... Anyway You get better answers in the Realest This is the Renting forum & perhaps a better answer in the area your planning on buying forums.
