P. 83

In the event that one spouse is incapacitated or


        otherwise  unable  to  participate  in  the


        administration of the common properties, the



        other  spouse  may  assume  sole  powers  of


        administration.  These  powers  do  not  include


        disposition or encumbrance without authority



        of the court or the written consent of the other


        spouse.  In  the  absence  of  such  authority  or


        consent, the disposition or encumbrance shall


        be  void.  However,  the  transaction  shall  be



        construed as a continuing offer on the part of


        the  consenting  spouse  and  the  third  person,



        and  may  be  perfected  as  a  binding  contract


        upon  the  acceptance  by  the  other  spouse  or


        authorization  by  the  court  before  the  offer  is


        withdrawn by either or both offerors. (206a)
