That protection exists specifically so one spouse cannot list or sell the home without the other's knowledge, even if only one name appears on the property. The Homesteads Act, 1989 reinforces this for the family home specifically.
When spouses cannot agree, a court can order a sale or divide the asset another way, but that process takes longer and costs more in legal fees, typically $800 to $1,500 on a straightforward sale, than reaching agreement outside court.
A lawyer can usually confirm within one conversation whether a specific property falls under these protections. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
