Re: how do I get the ex to sign off on house/land
It depends on the circumstances. If the two of you were married, the property should have been resolved as part of the divorce.
If you were unmarried, it is somewhat more sticky. If you two are joint tenants on the property, really your best options are to either buy her out or, failing that, to bring what is known as an action for partition to force her to accept a buyout or to simply have the property sold.
It really depends on the specifics of your situation. Please contact me if you would like to discuss the matter in more detail.
