Home lien in ex-husband’s name
I divorced in February of 1999. I got
the house in the divorce. In
February 1999, just prior to the
divorce a lien was placed on the
home in my former husband’s name
for a judgement against him. The
house has been in my name alone
since 1999. The lien was recently
renewed for an another 10 years.
As additional info my ex-husband
signed papers to quit claim deed the
house to my sister on January 22,
1999 prior to the placing of the lien.
These papers were signed in our
attorney’s office – my husband and I
were represented by the same
attorney. I received the quit claim
deed back on April 7, 1999 from my
attorney with a letter instructing me
to keep for my files. I was unaware
at the time the quit claim was never
filed. If the quit deed had been filed
the lien could not have been placed
in the first place. As this was the
entire intent for having my
ex-husband deed the house I feel the
attorney was negligent. I was never
told the deed had not been filed.
My ex has made no payments on his
debt and interest and penalties have
added to the lien. Do I have any
recourse? Can I pursue any course
of action against the attorney?

I divorced two years ago. My home was awarded to me in the decree and my wife has quit claim deeded the home to me. Unfortunately, due to the amount of alimony I am paying I have not been able to refinance the home in my name only. My wife has informed me that she will be filing for bankruptcy. With her name still on the mortage, is my home in jeopardy of being used as an asset to settle her debts? What can I do to protect my home, if I cannot refinance the house?

quit claim deed
I purchased my first home nearly 3 years ago. At that time I would recieve a lower interest rate if my parents co- signed. As it turns out we were advised to have my parents ”buy” the home for the lower interest and then switch the paper work or add my name shorlty after for a mere $50 or so. As it turns out we have been told we can not do a claim deed change without paying the taxes on the loan amount of the home. Estimates range from a few thousand up to $15k. My question is this: is there a way to add my name to the title? since I am and have been the only person paying the mortgage on this home. I would like to be able to enjoy the credit benefits of home ownership.
