Congrats on your sale. Sounds like it was quite an adventure.

As for the builder wanting any access to your property before closing, I had this happen to me when I was doing a long-distance sale of vacant land in Texas. My broker told me the buyer/builder had put up lots-for-sale signs on both ends of the property. I told broker to tell buyer to get his signs off the land immediately, that he did not yet own the property, and as far as I was concerned, he was trespassing.

(This is sort of equivalent to advising sellers not to allow buyers to move into a house before officially closing on it. It's too easy for buyers to find something wrong with the property and then refuse to close.)

Especially glad you were able to resolve the driveway problem with that wife. In Virginia, depending on her original ownership rights in the property, she would have been correct about her husband not having any right to sign away any aspect of the property without her. It doesn't have as much to do with dower or curtesy as it does with the fact that Virginia married couples take title in tenants in common, and one can't act without the other.

What are you planning to do with your new wealth? Have fun.
