Cash for keys when house was owned by more than 1 owner

Tony Rodriguez
Posted

Hello all, 

So I finally closed on an occupied property, home was owned by husband and wife, the wife is willing to sign a cash for keys agreement but the husband is no where to be found, wife says last time he has seen him was a month ago. The question is, if she is the only one signing the cash for keys agreement would I be able to take possession without legal issues? She also mentioned that she will only take her personal stuff but leave her husbands stuff in the house, would I get in trouble if dispose the husbands stuff without having his signature in the agreement? 

I'm also thinking about just filing an eviction to avoid these issues but I really want to expedite the process.
