    <p>An update and some clarification on this. <br>
    </p>
    <p>First, the divorce decree was in a different county than the
      property at issue. We looked first at the possibility of recording
      the divorce decree. However, it appears that the divorce was done
      mostly, if not entirely, pro se. As such, there are problems with
      the property description (TPN has an error in it and for the
      "legal description" the parties simply inserted the street address
      rather than the legal descprition). Thus, the divorce decree,
      unless amended, wouldn't be sufficient, even if recorded in the
      county where the property resides. We could simply get a corrected
      order/decree but where the ex-spouse is willing to sign a deed we
      were looking into just using a QCD to possibly save time/money.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Second, the issue with taxes needing to be paid before a QCD is
      recorded was reported by our client. We were caught off guard by
      this as well and so we sent a query on this to the county
      treasurer. We just heard back today that our client is NOT
      required to pay the taxes before being allowed to record. Either
      our client misheard or misunderstood, or something has changed
      since our clients initial inquiry.</p>
    <p>Consequently, we're just going to record a QCD and cross our
      fingers that recording goes smoothly. I'll post back to the list
      if it turns out that our client really does need to pay any of the
      taxes before they can record a deed. Thank you everyone for your
      input!<br>

            <p>I think everyone agrees that the decree could be
              sufficient.  I'm just uncertain if the decree needs to be
              recorded in the same county if not entered in the same
              county.  Then there's also the issue of whether the decree
              has sufficient specificity as to the property.  But it may
              be all that needs to be done is point out the decree to
              the title company and see if they will remove the
              ex-husband as a vested owner.  If that happens the issues
              with the bank should disappear.<o:p></o:p></p>

              <p>I've got a client needing to record a QCD to separate
                property post-divorce but is running into what seems to
                be a "catch 22" problem so I'm looking for some creative
                solutions.<o:p></o:p></p>
              <p>Client by divorce decree is awarded the family home and
                thus needs to record a QCD from ex-spouse to separate
                the property. However, there is a large amount of
                outstanding property taxes due (several years worth) and
                the county (Island) is refusing to record the deed
                without the taxes being made current. Client doesn't
                have the funds to bring taxes current so is seeking a
                loan to pay the taxes. However, client is having trouble
                procuring a loan because the bank is requiring signature
                of ex-spouse since ex-spouse's name is on the property
                but ex-spouse will not sign off on the loan.<o:p></o:p></p>
              <p>Thus, client can't record a QCD because they don't have
                the money to pay the taxes but their having trouble
                getting the money to pay the taxes without first
                recording the QCD.<o:p></o:p></p>
              <p>Any thoughts or creative work-arounds for this would be
                much appreciated, thank you.<o:p></o:p></p>
