my ex-husband signed a quit claim deed prior to the divorce being settled. is he entitled to any of the equity in the house?
Sounds like a lawyer question. In general, a quitclaim deed means he doesn't own any of the house anymore. On the other hand, if your divorce decree says he does, then you gotta go with what the divorce decree says. A judges signature trumps all other paperwork.
Hi Confused,
I agree with Mark in the sense that if a quitclaim deed is already signed by your ex-husband, he shouldn't be entitled to any part of your home equity. However, I would still advise you to check out the divorce decree for any share of interest in property being offered to your ex-husband.
