Pennsylvania laws about real property?

Can I buy a house in my name only if I am married in Pennsylvania?

(Don't tell me to ask a lawyer, I don't live there yet!)

Yes - but as they mentioned it is still considered community property.
Also, depending on where you go in PA (rural vs. city) you will likely encounter a little good old boy attitude where women are not supposed to own property without the "consent" of their husband. They can't stop you - but they can be a pain in the butt.

yes, you can.

But, it's still a community property state if you get divorced.

You can but it will be marital property unless your spouse signs a waiver of no interest in the property

Not in Pennsylvania - if you are married, you must purchase the home as joint tenants by the entirety. Good luck -
