You mean that the other side - buyer of the home - wish to include your spouses in the sale paperwork? I could understand that they would want the spouses to waive their rights to the sale money and state that the proeprty is inherited (separate) property and not marital property. But I see no reason they should be on the contract of sale or any of those documents. Ask your lawyer. Good luck.
