Correct Answer
D) Both spouses must obtain independent legal counsel before the sale can be completed
Washington law does not require married couples to obtain independent legal counsel before selling community real property.

The legal requirements focus on both spouses' consent and signatures on key documents, not on mandatory attorney representation.
