What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MISSOURI
Divorced three years ago. Wife was not on mortgage but was on title to home. Decree states she released all rights of title or claims to my house and that she was to provide a quit claim upon divorce. She said she signed one but I never got a copy and nothing on file with recorder of deeds. I didn't want to push it cause it was t a pleasant divorce. Now I am trying to refinance and there is a Lien against my home for home owners assoc fees she never paid for her property she bought after our divorce. 1. Is it to late to get a quit claim from her (she is very cooperative)? 2. Is a quit claim and the supporting divorce decree enough to get the lien removed. 3. Should a lawyer handle this or will a title company be sufficient? Could you offer a plan for me?
Thanks for any help.
