Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Ex Wife On The Mortgage

My fiance's ex wife deeded the house over to him. He wants to sell, but found out that she's still on the mortgage. She probably won't sign the papers, so we will need to litigate. She is very vendictive.

When the house sells, he can pay off the existing mortgage. The ex can't stop it, and she doesn't have to sign anything. Then she's out, and he won't have to worry about her any more.
