My husband and I were divorced in 1981 in California. We had a home and the divorce decree stated that the home was to be sold and the proceeds split. The house had a mortgage. I could never get him to do it and moved on. About 10 years later, he agreed to pay me $4,880 - the total amount I had put into the home. I completed a Grant Deed for the property at a notary. Fact was the house was not paid for until 2000. Did I complete the correct form or should I have completed a QuitClaim deed?
You are from which state?
Hi ItJams,
I don't think you have done anything wrong by using the Grant Deed to transfer the property to your ex-spouse. You could have either used a quitclaim deed or a grant deed to transfer the property.
Thanks
