Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

my ex-boyfriend payed off his balloon payment and he and his ex-fiancee took out a loan on this doublewide mobile and land. In the meantime he bought 3 lots and put their names on the titles. They split up he and I got back together and got married. they sold the lots and spilt the money. My husband wrote a letter without this address on it or it being notarized and she signed saying that she wanted her name off this loan and title. but the bank wouldn't do anything without it being paid off. so after a few years we paid it off. Then we got the title to the unmoviable doublewide in mine and his name. And in good faith (we thought she was going to sign the quick claim deed). But now she is avoiding our phone calls and evidently is not going to sign the quick claim deed. Now we don't know what to do , we have the original letter, but not sure what to do with it . And not sure what our ( my ) rights are to this unmoviable double wide trailer .She doesn't know my name is on the trailer and as of yet there is no title on the land. So I'm not sure what my rights are and we're not sure what her rights are . And is it possible to take her to court and do we even stand a chance of a judge ruling for her to sign a quick claim deed , for my husband and myself to get a title to the land in our names. So that my husband and myself can own the land and trailer outright.

You need a real estate attorney to review all of your paperwork, including the letter she signed. You will probably have to sue her to quiet title, but often a letter from an attorney is enough to get uncooperative ex's to see logic and reason to do the right thing. You can contact me through this web site, and we can discuss the process in more detail.
