If a father and son own real estate jointly and no one else's name is on record title to the real property, spousal consent of the wife of the son is not required for the son to transfer legal title of the son solely into the name of his father.However, most good real estate attorneys in order to make sure that there are no future problems by the son's wife claiming some entitlement to the real property would have the wife sign a quitclaim deed to the father releasing all interests that she might have in the property intended to be transferred back solely into the father's name and recording the quitclaim.By doing this, the father does not have to worry about the son's wife making and future claims to the real property that is solely in his name.
