Subdivision 1. No conveyance except by court approval. Except as otherwise provided by this section, if a protected person's right to convey an interest in real property is restricted under sections 524.5-401 to 524.5-433, no conveyance of the interest is effective unless ordered by the court pursuant to section 524.5-418. A conveyance of an interest in real property owned by the spouse of a protected person remains subject to the marital rights of the protected person unless the protected person's conservator joins in the conveyance on behalf of the protected person pursuant to a court order under section 524.5-418. This section does not revive marital rights in real property extinguished as part of a property agreement or settlement between the spouses approved by a court of competent jurisdiction, including but not limited to a valid prenuptial or postnuptial agreement, a legal separation, or any other court approved division of assets between the spouses.
