If the husband owned a home in Florida prior to marriage and now lives in North Carolina does the wife have to sign off on the sale of the property?

Dower rights in both Florida and North Carolina have been abolished. But, given that in most states the surviving spouse has rights in certain properties, it is always best to have the spouse sign off on the transfer of real property. I sold a house in NC purchased before marriage and though my wife had never lived in it, she had to sign the paperwork. North Carolina Laws: Article 2. Conveyances by Husband and Wife.
