Hello Mickey. Can you please tell me which state or country you're located in? Property laws can vary greatly by location.

Hello Mickey. In Pennsylvania, your spouse's rights to the property depend on when and how you acquired the homes:
- If you acquired them before marriage, you can sell without his involvement.
- If acquired during marriage, you might need his consent.
Please consult with a local attorney for personalized advice.
Thank you
