Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Louisiana
i donated some land to my ex husband for him to be able to refinance a mortgage. when we got divorced we never did any sort of settlement or agreement on the land. The papers say he has a 1/2 interest does that mean that i still have rights to the property?

Likely yes. If these papers you mention say he has a 1/2 interest, all that means is that someone else (or several someone elses) have the other 1/2 interest. Realistically, though, that other half is probably yours. It is not hard to find out. Look at the title. Go down to the conveyance office and look in the public record to see who owns the property.
