Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

Really? Who told you that?

{John}

If you and your husband are both in title on the deed, his girlfriend does not get an interest in the home. Even if there is a contract between your ex and his girlfriend, that wouldn't give her any rights to the house.

However, he is able to sell or deed his interest without your consent. And when he dies, his will can give his interest to whomever he wants.Or if he doesn't have a will, the state law will determine who inherits his estate, including his interest in the house. It cannot dispose of your interest in the house.

You really should have resolved ownership of the house during the divorce. Personally, I can't understand why you would continue to own it together. You should try to work out one of you buying out the interest of the other. If the buyer doesn't have the available funds for this, he or you could refinance the house to pay off the other one.

THIS RESPONSE IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE, SINCE I DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED, AND I DO NOT HAVE A REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT WITH YOU.

* If the answers to your question confirm that you have a valid issue or worthwhile claim, your next step should almost always be to establish a dialog with a lawyer who can provide specific advice to you. Contact a lawyer in your county or township.

* Another reason for contacting a lawyer is that it is often impossible to give a good answer in the Internet Q&A format without having more information. The unique circumstances of your situation and things that you may not have thought to mention in your question may completely change the answer. If you want to be sure that you have a complete answer to your question and an understanding of what that answer means, establish a connection with a lawyer who practices in the area of your concern.
