<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I have an estate planning client (ex-wife) who has been divorced for 33 years. The divorce decree awarded her the house in the divorce subject to a $4K equitable
lien awarded to ex-husband payable within 4 years of decree. Ex-Wife paid Ex-Husband the $4K and his attorney filed a Satisfaction of Judgment. However a deed transferring the house to ex-wife was never exchanged and husband is still listed as an owner on
the assessor website. Ex-Wife wants to clean up title as part of her estate planning so she doesn’t leave a mess for her PR. The simple solution would be to have ex-husband sign a quit claim deed to clear the title. However, ex-husband has attempted to cause
several problems for Ex-wife since the divorce through their son who is developmentally disabled and under guardianship. Ex-wife is guardian. She would like to avoid as much contact as possible with Ex-husband, who was abusive.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
