My aunt passed away about a year ago. She lived in Las Vegas (Clark County) in the same hous for about 30 years. No will was found and so her estate went into probate. My sister and I turned out to be her only living aires and ended up splitting everything 50/50. We are now in the process of closing escrow on the sale of the house and from what I am being told by my sister is that the finance officer who is handling the sale is insisting that my wife of 8 years must sign off all community property rights otherwise escrow will not close. My sister also is claiming that if escrow does not close that the buyer can sue us for breach of sale. We live in California and are not familar with Nevada law. Is all this true? Why would my wife have to release all marital rrights to the proceeds received from the sale? I have never heard of such a thing and my wife and I are refusing to sign anything as of yet. Also can the buyer sue my sister and I if the escrow does not close? I've know a few people who have had escrow fail to close and as far as I know nobody got sued. Any help on this would be appreciated.
