Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

quick deed
My ex-husband and I divorced in november. I signed a quick deed for our property and turned over the rights to him. His lawyer called this month(April)and said that the quick deed was not valid due to description of property. What are my rights about signing this now? Can I refuse or do I have a little leverage for now?

Re: quick deed

Hello. Your situation, in my opinion, is rare.

I assume that the judgment orders you to sign

over the rights in the house to your now "ex husband." If that is the case, you might be held

in contempt of court, if you do not cooperate and

sign a deed with the corrected legal description.

On the other hand, if the judgment does not specify that you are to sign a deed of the property to your husband, you are definitely in

the driver's seat. If you did not have an attorney, when you signed the first deed, now

is the time to get an attorney to protect your rights. I will be happy to attempt to answer

any additional questions that you might have

concerning this matter.
