507.01 CONVEYANCE AND PURCHASER. The word "purchaser," as used in this chapter, embraces every person to whom any estate or interest in real estate is conveyed for a valuable consideration and every assignee of a mortgage, lease, or other conditional estate. The word "conveyance," as so used, includes every instrument in writing whereby any interest in real estate is created, aliened, mortgaged, or assigned or by which the title thereto may be affected in law or in equity, except wills, leases for a term not exceeding three years, and powers of attorney.

507.02 CONVEYANCES BY SPOUSES; POWERS OF ATTORNEY. If the owner is married, no conveyance of the homestead, except a mortgage for purchase money under section 507.03, a conveyance between spouses pursuant to section 500.19, subdivision 4, or a severance of a joint tenancy pursuant to section 500.19, subdivision 5, shall be valid without the signatures of both spouses. A spouse's signature may be made by the spouse's duly appointed attorney-in-fact. Spouses who are married to each other may convey the real estate of either by their joint deed. A spouse, by separate deed, may convey any real estate owned by that spouse, except the homestead, subject to the rights of the other spouse therein; and either spouse may, by separate conveyance, relinquish all rights in the real estate so conveyed by the other spouse. Subject to the foregoing provisions, either spouse may separately appoint an attorney-in-fact to sell or convey any real estate owned by that spouse, or join in any conveyance made by or for the other spouse. Use of a power of attorney is subject to section 518.58, subdivision 1a. A minor spouse has legal capacity to join in a conveyance of real estate owned by the other spouse, so long as the minor spouse is not incapacitated because of some reason other than that spouse's minor age.

507.021 CONVEYANCES RECORDED 15 YEARS VALIDATED.

507.03 PURCHASE-MONEY MORTGAGE; NONJOINDER OF SPOUSE.

A statement in the mortgage to the effect that the mortgage is a purchase money mortgage constitutes prima facie evidence of that fact. If any portion of the money secured by the mortgage is used for the payment of the purchase price of the real property or any portion of it, the entire mortgage debt shall be deemed purchase money within the meaning of this section, except that any money used to pay off the balance owing under a contract for deed under which the purchaser has the right to possession of the property shall not be deemed purchase money under this section. This section applies to every purchase-money mortgage regardless of when it was granted or created, except that this section does not affect an action or proceeding involving the validity or enforceability of a purchase money mortgage if: (1) the action or proceeding is pending as of August 1, 2004, or is commenced before August 1, 2005; and (2) a notice of the pendency of the action or proceeding is recorded or filed before August 1, 2005, in the office of the county recorder or registrar of titles of the county to which the property affected by the action or proceeding is located.

Except as otherwise provided by this section, if a protected person's right to convey an interest in real property is restricted under sections 524.5-401 to 524.5-433, no conveyance of the interest is effective unless ordered by the court pursuant to section 524.5-418. A conveyance of an interest in real property owned by the spouse of a protected person remains subject to the marital rights of the protected person unless the protected person's conservator joins in the conveyance on behalf of the protected person pursuant to a court order under section 524.5-418. This section does not revive marital rights in real property extinguished as part of a property agreement or settlement between the spouses approved by a court of competent jurisdiction, including but not limited to a valid prenuptial or postnuptial agreement, a legal separation, or any other court approved division of assets between the spouses.

In all cases where the court under section 524.5-418 has ordered a conveyance of the interest in real property owned by a protected person or has ordered a protected person's joinder in the conveyance of an interest in real property owned by the protected person's spouse, the conveyance includes the inchoate interest of the protected person in any share or part of the real property owned by the protected person's spouse whether or not specifically mentioned in the proceedings or conveyance. Subd. 6. Validity of homestead conveyance. No conveyance of the homestead is valid unless each spouse or the duly authorized legal representative of each spouse joins in the conveyance by joint deed or by separate deeds.
