Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Re: Not my property

The only way your name could get on title is if it was intentionally put there by your husband, or in connnection with a refinance where you both were required to be on title to obtain the loan. In either case, you husband had to have signed over some portion of title to you for you to now be on title. As such, you do have a claim to title, but how title is held now will determine if it is half, or some lesser portion. He could have deeded you only a 1% interest, in which case that is what you are entitled to. You need to review the title information with someone who can advise you as to your rights - this forum is probably not the place to get a definitive answer to your question.
