Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

I have three possibly helpful comments to make. First, note that mobile homes can either be personal property or real property depending upon whether they are still mobile or have been semi-permanently attached to the real estate. If they are personal property they are licensed and registered by the Department of Motor Vehicles; once they become real estate (like regular houses), the documents reflecting ownership are recorded with the County Recorder. This distinction may be useful to keep in mind when looking for, or filing, ownership documents. Second, it's somewhat distressing that a major item of property wasn't listed in either of your dissolution filings with the court. I'd review them carefully to make sure that's accurate, and also look for anything in your final decree that mentions undisclosed property. If your dissolution was very recent, you could perhaps go back to court for a modification.......did either of you use a lawyer? If so, ask him/her. Finally, I think your telling him NO was the right thing to do; if the DMV or County Recorder papers on file show it is jointly owned, you should deal with a buyer jointly and make sure that the purchase price is received by each of you in proportion to your ownership interests.
