Spousal Consent Required for Property Sale Voidability
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA contract for the sale of property, concluded without the signature of one spouse, was held to be voidable by that spouse, despite the fact that the contract was presented as a simple sale and the property was not registered as a family home, because the law requires the consent of both spouses for the alienation of community or jointly owned property, and the failure to obtain this consent constitutes a ground for annulment, which can be invoked by the non-consenting spouse.
