Can one spouse sell the Silverwood Heights house without the other?

One spouse generally cannot sell a Silverwood Heights house without the other's consent, because The Homesteads Act, 1989 requires the non-owning spouse to consent in writing to a sale or mortgage of the family home no matter whose name is on title.

That protection applies to every Saskatoon neighbourhood the same way, including Silverwood Heights, and it exists specifically to stop one spouse from transferring or encumbering the home while the other has no say.

If the other spouse will not consent, the spouse who wants to sell can apply to the Court of King's Bench for an order permitting it, a step that involves a lawyer and adds time to a process that already carries The Family Property Act's separate question of how proceeds divide.

A hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck early in the process often resolves the disagreement before it needs a court to settle it. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
