Marital status matters
A separation does not itself end a legal marriage. Tell the lender and title company the accurate status at the beginning of the transaction.
Signatures may be required
For a Florida homestead property, a non-borrowing spouse may need to sign certain mortgage, title, or closing documents depending on ownership and the transaction.
Refusal can stop closing
If a required party will not sign, the lender and closing agent may be unable to complete the transaction.
Get legal and title guidance early
Homestead and marital rights are legal issues. Have the title company or a qualified Florida real estate attorney review the specific facts before contract deadlines arrive.
