Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

This is a very interesting question which I would be hesitant to voice any opinion on unless and until I reviewed the terms of the "divorce papers". Do you mean the final judgment, a settlement agreement or what?

I think you need to meet with an attorney who can read the papers and advise you of your legal rights and obligations. This is a serious matter and the proper legal advice can be well worth the cost.

If the marital settlement agreement gave your ex the property, and the divorce was finalized, it is most likely you no longer have any rights to the property. That said, it is an issue you should have an attorney look at carefully. In addition, when you do consult an attorney, be sure to discuss your possible claim on the estate for these unpaid debts.
