Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Montana
Quit Claim Deeds
My husband and I recently divorced. He agreed to let me have the marriage home. (I didn't get an attorney) After we both have signed the divorce papers and everything with that part has been finalized, I am now trying to get his name off of the tile to the house. I had the title company type up a quit claim deed for me and I have sent it to him to have him sign it and have it notorized to I can file it here. What do I do if he won't sign it now?
Thank you for your time.

Re: Quit Claim Deeds
If the dissolution papers did not specify that you would get the house, you can ask the judge to reopen the case on the grounds of fraud. If they did so specify, you can ask the court to hold him in contempt for not signing the deed,
