A wife can sign a real estate contract for her husband if he grants her a power of attorney just like anyone else. What varies by state is the repercussion of a wife signing a contract on her own. In some states the catch phrase is it takes one to buy and two to sell. A wife can purchase real estate on her own and her husband is liable. However, when a married couple sells real estate, both parties must sign the real estate sales contract for it to be enforceable.
