*****STOP SPOUSE INFORMATION REQUIRED*****

You indicated that the seller is married or separated, but you only stated that there is 1 seller for the property.  

You must go back and select two sellers, and provide the contact information for the other spouse, and take the following steps:

1.  Spouse's Contact Information:  If you do not have the contact information, please, at a minimum, provide the spouse's first and last name;

2.  Relationship Status:  In the relationship status field, which will appear after you input the spouse's contact information, please indicate what is the status of the marriage, and give a brief synapse (you don't need to be too wordy).

Here is a refresher on North Carolina Law as it relates to selling a property while married:

Maritial Status and Selling Property in North Carolina

 

In North Carolina, the rule of thumb for married couples is that one spouse may purchase real property, but both spouses must sign the deed to sell property. This is true even if the current deed, or deed of trust, is solely in one spouses name.

The rationale for this requirement is because in North Carolina a spouse acquires a marital interest in the other spouse’s real property regardless of whether the property was acquired prior to or after the seller was married.

For example, if a spouse dies, the living spouse can claim an elective share in the property regardless of whether their name appears on the deed to the property. Thus, in order to extinguish these marital interests during the sale of real property, the deed conveying the real property must include the signatures of both spouses.

The same holds true if spouses are legally separated, as the marriage has not been formally resolved, and a divison of assets, including the home, was never completed. 

The bottom line is that in North Carolina, both spouses must sign a deed to sell or transfer real property!
