I recently got a divorce and was a awarded property to my house but my ex-husband did not sign the warranty?

Answer 1

I'm a realtor and I'll answer the best I can. If you were awarded the property, then it's yours. It should indicate so on the title, talk to your attorney, but if the property was awarded to you, all rights, privileges, and encumberances are transferred to you. I would suggest title work and talk to whatever company that insures the property. If all else fails consult a realtor, and give them all the details you can provide, if they're good, they'll provide the advice gratis, in exchange for a referral, or just the good karma that comes along, just do them a favor and tell your friends about them and how they helped you. Feel free to e-mail me if I can provide any other advice or help.

Another thing to consider, if the property was awarded to you, you should go ahead and sell it, that way if there still any other existing attachments by either party they are dissolved and each can go their seperate ways. It does go into another facet of divorce proceedings, but it could help prevent any trouble down the line. Beware though, realtors will charge 1 or 2 percent extra in listings involving divorces because it may be tougher to sell the property, and they are dealing with the couple being divorced and their lawyers which can make for some serious migraines. But it's a good way to sever ties, and protect your credit rating.

Answer 2

You need to make sure that your name and your name only is on that deed now. My husband was awarded his house and property in his last divorce. And come to find out three years later, the ex's name was still on the deed. And since the divorce she went and bought a new truck, had it repo'ed and a judgement was put on the land. And since my husbands name was on the deed too, he owed for that truck also, $22,000, in which we had to pay to get our land free and clear. So just because you were awarded something, doesn't mean it's yours free and clear. You have to make sure to get that way by following through and making it happen.
Good luck.

I used to work for a divorce lawyer, and he said it was one thing to get awarded something in the divorce, and worth almost as much to hire a lawyer to ENFORCE the divorce decree. Sounds like you're headed back to court. Ugh. Good luck.
