[WSBAPT] [WSBARP] complication in transferring RP to Trust

[Rob Wilson-Hoss]

Kristina, talk to your title company, this may depend on the sufficiency of the legal description in the disso decree, I think. She may not need to do anything but the transfer, but then again, she may need something else.

I have a client who is creating a Revocable Living Trust.  She owns a home that she purchased with her now ex-husband 40 years ago.  I’ve reviewed the dissolution papers and my client was awarded the home (and the mortgage which she has since paid off) but the ex-husband never quit claimed the property to her.  She has not spoken to the ex-husband in over 20 years and has no idea where to find. My question is, what do I need to do to get this property titled in the trust?

 

If the ex-husband can’t be found, can I simply file the dissolution papers and reference the property ID so that it is seen when reviewing a chain of title?  That seems a little simplistic but it would be a very easy fix.  Do I have to do a quiet title action to get the property in her name alone?  Is there some other option that I haven’t considered aside from finding the ex-husband?

 

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Kristina
