Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
my x wife said that I needed to file a quit deed form for the house. that she got in the divorces which I did not contest, we were divorced in 2010 its now 2014 I thought I signed everything under the sun. but just now this comes up 4 years later. the form is in the mail to me as we speak. I guess what I need to know is if she owns the house out right and was granted it in our divorces am I responsible for what she might have done , as far as loans taken out on the house? please help me to understand my rights in this matter

If you were required by the final judgment to execute the quit claim deed, you can still be required to do that. Ownership could not transfer by the final order alone, the quit claim deed was needed. You are not responsible for loans or stuff she has done. Although if your name is still on the property you could be responsible to third parties who get injured due to negligence. Review the deed with the divorce paperwork with an attorney to make sure you are protected.
