I am divorced, ex- husband and I agreed on everything so it was a dissilusion.My ex- husband was awarded all right, title and interest in and to said real estate, free from any clains of the wife (me) I signed a quick claim deed. the divorce papers state that my exhusband shall have exclusive occupancy of the residence and he shall pay and hold wife harmless on the mortage payment to said morgage company, they gave him 2 years to put house loan into his name and take me off. unfortunatly he died before he did this. and now the morgage company is comeing after me. how can I be liable when it states in my divorce papers that he shall pay and hold wife(me) harmless on the morgage.

The loan you signed is a totally different document then your divorce papers and divorce papers cannot change that. That is why he was ordered to get a separate loan in his name within 2 years. Sorry.

You need to go see a lawyer to find out the laws in your state. If you have signed a quit claim deed, then you would not be liable. However, if there is equity in the house and it would revert to you, you would want to take possession. If your state law allows, then you could sell the house and keep the equity money. You should see that lawyer right away because you don't want your credit ruined and you need to know if you are legally supposed to be making the house payments.

They are coming after you because they want their money. Call an attorney and find out what your rights and responsibilities are. The more informed you are, the better. It is possible that they have no leg to stand on, and are just trying to intimidate you into taking responsibility for this. You need legal advice to know whether you can just tell them to f*ck off, or if they really CAN come after you in some way, shape or form. Please call an attorney.

Send the mortage company a copy of your final divorce degree from the court and a copy of your husband's death certificate.

Because your name is STILL on the mortgage. In a court of law the fact that your name is still on the mortgage is upheld because it was there BEFORE your divorce and it was never removed. It was YOUR responsiblity as much as your deceased ex's to ensure that your name was removed from the mortgage why didn't YOU do so?

You need a lawyer. If he passed away and didn't put it in his name within the 2 yr. period, you probably need some legal help with this situation because they will probably harrass you to try to make you pay unless you have legal backup.

Because what you signed allowed him to change the mortgage to under his name, but does not void the old mortgage that has your name on it.
