Legal Question in Family Law in California

Family Law Judgments

30 years ago my judgment ordered: ''all property in the possession of each party is the sole and separate property of that party'' and that all ''property that did exist has been divided'' . He left house, we agreed had agreed that I would pay for and keep it, which I did these 30 years. We never signed and recorded a transfer deed. so the property remains in both our names. I am now doing my will etc. and need to have the deed accurately reflect my name alone. I have not heard from my ex in 30 years and don't know where he is. How can I reform my deed to reflect my name alone so that, God forbid, I should die, and my ex is awarded half. Thank you very much.

Re: Family Law Judgments

I'd need to review your judgment. You might have to bring a quiet title action in civil court to change the deed.
