I wouldn’t buy it for much, without the H’s signature, and I suspect there’s nobody else who would.
She’s got 2 choices: Find the H & get a QC Deed from him,or get divorce Judgment giving her sole rights to the house, which would then let her sell it and deliver good title.
Property is in Texas, and deed is recorded in husband and wifes name. Wife wants to sell. Husband left three years ago, location unknown, possibly he returned to Mexico. Property is not their homestead, but an investment property.
I know Texas is a community property state, but with no divorce and the title still in both names, is there any way she can sell?
