Where a spouse is prevented by illness or absence from cooperating in a legal transaction that relates to the common matrimonial property, the other spouse may enter into the legal transaction if delay entails risk; when doing this, they may act either in their own name or in the name of both spouses. The same applies to conducting a legal dispute which relates to the common matrimonial property.
