Do both spouses have to sign to sell a Saskatoon home?

Yes, both spouses typically have to sign to sell a Saskatoon home, because The Homesteads Act, 1989 requires the non-owning spouse's written consent to a sale or mortgage of the family home regardless of whose name actually appears on title.

That requirement is separate from The Family Property Act, which governs how the proceeds are divided once a sale happens. Consent to sell and entitlement to the money are two different questions, and both spouses are involved in each.

A lawyer handling the closing, typically for $800 to $1,500 in legal fees, will confirm both signatures are on file before title transfers through Information Services Corporation, so a missing signature surfaces well before possession day rather than after.

A hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck, agreed before either spouse signs, is usually what makes getting both signatures straightforward. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
