Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Indiana
In their divorce property settlement my husband and his ex-wife agreed to share his half of property (200 acres) which he inherited from his mother with a Tenants in Common deed. His cousin owns half of property. When he dies would I inherit his portion if my name is not on the deed and I'm not sure how he would get my name on the deed since his ex-wife and his cousin would have to agree. Thanks

Take the settlement agreement and the deed to an attorney who can read them and then answer this question.

I agree with Jay. Have an attorney review both documents so that you can be certain. The cost should not be very high. If you cannot find an attorney locally, feel free to contact me.
