Documents You’ll Need When Selling Your Home During Divorce

Why Organization Matters

Divorce sales require more coordination than typical transactions. Gathering the right paperwork early prevents last-minute roadblocks and helps ensure both parties feel informed and protected.

Here’s what to have ready before listing your home.

🧾 Financial Documents

Most recent mortgage statement
Property tax bill and proof of payment
Utility statements (for buyer disclosures)
Homeowners insurance policy
HOA documents or dues statements, if applicable

🏡 Property-Related Documents

Current deed and title
Home improvement receipts for any upgrades or repairs
Recent appraisal or CMA, if available
Lien or judgment releases (especially for child support or prior debts)
Use & Occupancy/Certificate of Occupancy compliance (varies by municipality)

⚖️ Legal Documents

Divorce decree (if finalized) or temporary court order
Marital settlement agreement, stating how proceeds will be divided
Power of attorney or consent letter (if one spouse cannot attend settlement)
Attorney contact information for both sides
