Virginia is an equitable distribution state when it comes to determination of marital assets. Although the title to the house is not in your name, it is considered "marital homestead" and a spouse CANNOT sell the marital homestead without the signature of the other spouse.
Nonresident Real Property Owners should complete Form R-5. Partnerships, S-Corporations, Estates, and Trusts must provide the information on all nonresident partners, shareholders, and beneficiaries on Form R-5P. Substitute schedules may be used provided they follow the same format.
Virginia law does not require home sellers to hire an attorney, whether a Realtor is part of the process or not. However, legal counsel is useful for all sellers and especially important for FSBO sellers. Real estate transactions are complex, and this is likely to be one of the biggest financial deals of your life.
Working With a Lawyer Unlike in some states, Virginia does not require that sellers involve a lawyer in the house-selling transaction. Even if it's not required, you might decide to engage a lawyer at some point in the process—for example, to review the final contract or to assist with closing details.
While there are many states that require the use of an attorney in a real estate transaction, Virginia law lets buyers and sellers choose whether they want to use an attorney or a title and escrow company to handle their real estate settlement.
