Property not mentioned in a Divorce

My father deeded me an inheritance of land in 1999. I was married at that time but he chose to deed it only to me for life. When I divorced in 2003, it was unspoken between myself and my ex that the property was mine. He has never laid a claim to it. Now in 2006 I am trying to put a mobile on it and they say they must have an affidavit from my ex to that effect. I left him due to domestic violence and am afraid to contact him again. Is this affidavit necessary for an inheritance or is there a waiver of some kind I can sign?
