We are not divorced. I want to buy a house as sole and separate property, but she doesn't want to sign the deed. What can I do?

As with many things laws differ by locale. In CA I know you shouldn't have a problem but might in another state. You might want to consult an attorney. _________________ Lynnette Phillips Loan Officer/Realtor, Foreclosure Consultant Home Pride Mortgage My Blog: http://activerain.com/helpingufindaway My website: http://lynnettephillips.com **This is not intended as legal advice.

If she won't sign a quitclaim deed, you have no other choices, unless you have other separate property with which you can purchase the house. _________________ This is not legal advice and I am not your lawyer.
