A wife can sign a real estate contract for her husband if he grants her a power of attorney just like anyone else. What varies by state is the repercussion of a wife signing a contract on her own. In some states the catch phrase is it takes one to buy and two to sell. A wife can purchase real estate on her own and her husband is liable. However, when a married couple sells real estate, both parties must sign the real estate sales contract for it to be enforceable.
Unless there is some reason why the husband has authority to sign on behalf of the company, it would be void.Added: IF the husband was legally authorized to sign such a contract, the husband would have to be legallydeclared to have been mentally incompetent at the time that he signed it. Only then could the contract be declared null and void.
No. Both owners must sign. The contract is unenforceable.
In general, states limit the right of a plaintiff to enforce a contract for real property rights (including a lease), unless there is a document signed by the defendant. Your particular state may interpret a lease as a contract that could be enforced if the husband actually acted as if there were a lease, even if he didn't personally sign it, but there could be complicated issues of fact and evidence worth discussing with an attorney.
