So close and BAMM! not too fast. Help

[Ismael Mathurin]

Hello Bp fam,

I am working on a wholesale deal in N.C , the day before closing the Owner's husband decided not to sign the paperwork for the attorney. Husband states that, his name is not on the deed, therefore he doesn't have to sign any documents. However, I was informed by the attorney, even though the property deed is under the Wife's name, because they're legally married any judgements found under the husband's name must be verified.

Owner now wants to a Quit Claim deed, and no longer wants to deal with the attorney process. North Carolina is an attorney state. Owner wants to transfer right to property via Quit Claim and be paid right then after.

How would you handle this situation? Given the fact its an attorney state.

I have informed the end buyer of the situation, and they still want to purchase the property, and are willing to pay the judgements, depending of the balance. * I cant get the balance, because husband still refusing to sign release document for attorney* smh lol

Any idea or suggestion on possible ways to get this done? Thank You

In the state of North Carolina, if it is a married couple.  Both must sign.  It doesn't matter if the husband is on the deed or not.  Both must sign.
