Answer

It sounds like he is asking you to sign in order to have the title of the property cleared and perhaps sold or deeded to him as sole owner. You did not advise whether this property was transferred to your name along with your husband's name at the time. If so then this would be considered a marital asset and distributed during the final settlement in your divorce. If it is titled in your name - I would want to know what the court ordered in relation to marital assets and sole assets acquired before or outside the marriage. Finally, if your name is on it and the divorce court did not issue an order addressing it at that time - as your attorney I would want to know what it is you wish to do with it now - assuming you own it alone or jointly with your former husband. Ask him what he is trying to do and advise your attorney what he is asking you to sign now. Finally, since you are divorced though - this property should have been addressed at that point in the distribution of assets ordered by the judge. Regardless, typically when two people are married and one of the spouses obtains property questions in law may arise as to whether or not this property is marital property and thus protected as such. Since you were divorced sometime ago - I would not sign anything related to this property now unless you consult a lawyer, preferably the one who handled the settlement of your divorce. I would want to know what you are signing and why this was not resolved during the divorce proceeding. Please let me know if you need any other information and also if you have more information on what exactly he is trying to make you sign. Thank you and have a nice day. Alexandra
