He Owns the House

  My wife and I are both on the loan for our home. However, she has quit claimed the property to me. Can I sell the the house without her consent and is she entitled to any of the proceeds from the sell of the house? In other words, if I sell the house and there are proceeds from the sale, will the final check be in both of our names, or my name only?
 
  If you are the only owner, you are entitled to the proceeds.  I can't know if there was any other arrangement between the two of you that might change that.
