My understanding is that because they reside in Michigan that dower rights apply. One spouse can not sell or refinance a property without the other one knowing about it and acknowledging it. Even if the property is in another state. But if the title company says the spouse does not have to sign then I would make sure that you make a note in your journal that the title company said she did not have to sign.... that way you cover your behind. You would hate to be called into court in the middle of a divorce case or something. :o) |
