With cash of course......Yes...
Spousal Consent would be needed if the property was to be purchased by taking out a loan in both spouses names...But there are no laws requiring spousal consent for another spouse to make cash purchases of property...
Yes. A person can devise their sole property by will in most jurisdictions. A husband does not need his wife's consent to leave his antique car to his brother. A wife doesn't need her husband's consent to leave her solely owned mountain cabin to her sister. However, one spouse cannot completely disinherit the other in most states except Louisiana and one spouse cannot leave property owned by survivorship to any third party.
Yes, you can get a divorce in California without spousal consent. California is a "no-fault" divorce state, which means that either spouse can request a divorce without needing the consent or agreement of the other spouse. However, the other spouse will still need to be officially served with divorce papers and has the right to respond to the request.
If both names are on the deed, then both signatures are required. If the spouse has signed a quit claim deed to the home, then the other does not need consent.
You can only encumber your own interest in the property. You cannot affect the co-tenant's interest in the property without their consent.
If the co-owner is agreeable or the house is titled in a way which allows the property to be transferred without the consent of other owners then it can be done using a quitclaim deed a simple and inexpensive procedure.
That depends on the status of the married couple. A married individual is allowed to withdraw retirement funds early and without consent of the spouse if the fund allows it, and penalties are assessed. The situation changes in the case of divorce. Most states follow a doctrine of equitable division of marital property at the time of divorce. If a married individual raids their retirement funds in anticipation of a divorce, the court has the power to make that individual reimburse the other spouse according to the court ordered division of property. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in divorce in your jurisdiction before taking that course of action.
The co-owner can only transfer their own interest in the property. If there are four owners the interest of one would be a one-quarter interest. A co-owner can transfer their own interest in the property without the consent of the others.
You cannot make any changes to the other owner's interest in the property without that owner's consent and signature. For example, if you sell the property the grantee will only receive your own one-half interest.
The advantage is that when/if one spouse should die during the period of ownership the property will automatically become the sole property of the other spouse without the need to pass through probate.
I know you can still get divorced in NY without a signature if you've been separated for 2 years. There are other ways too but you still have to get consent from the court, like if you don't know where your spouse is
Yes. A surviving spouse is entitled to a statutory share of an intestate (without a will) estate in most jurisdictions. You can check the laws in your state at the related question link provided below.
It is consented but in a way it still is cheating on them
