Randy, I think we both said the same thing essentially. No matter what happens if this person is still married, wifey is going to have to sign documents of some sort.

I'm no attorney either, and this is not a legal advice forum - but in Arizona there's no such thing, legally, as an "estranged wife." She's either his WIFE or his EX-WIFE. If he's still married, then to my knowledge she will HAVE to sign the deed of trust or a disclaimer deed. I'm actually not sure whether you're talking about the seller's wife or the buyer's wife - but if either one is still legally married, then my guess is that she will indeed have to sign, IF the transaction is going to close. And again ~ seek competent legal advice from a reputable real estate attorney and/or your Board's legal hot line.

I am not an attorney so I can't really help you too much except to give you some questions your buyers needs to ask the lender. 1) Does the buyer need his wife's income to qualify for the loan? 2) Is VA a Community Property State? He may be able to take title as his Sole & Separate Property, but his wite would probably have to sign away her interest on the property in order for him to do that. Either way, it appears that her signature may be required at some point no matter the circumstances. Remember, at the end the lender holds the cards. If there are conditions that have to be met as a condition of funding, those conditions will have to be met or overcome. Bottom line, the lender has to be happy or the sale isn't going to happen. Good luck, I hope you get it all worked out.
