Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
My ex-husband bought a house in 1978. I married him in1993. I divorced him in 1993. I never saw or signed the deed for the house. I received what I feel, a bogus deed from his lawyer, with my name typed in as the grantor. Ther was no date stating when the deed was made.
Under Property: It stated that the propert was in Aberdeen, NJ, but the property in in Asbury Park, NJ. My name was never on the deed. On my divorce settlment it stated this property was from a previous marriage. Now his lawyer wants me to sign this deed as grantor and have it notorized. I had nothing to do with this property. I feel that I should not have to signed this deed because I never owned the property

It appears -solely from your facts- that your former husband may have given you the house during your marriage. All you need is the grantor your husband- to transfer the house to your name -the grantee- and all that is necessary is the grantor's signature on the deed. So . . . you own a house. Good luck!
I suggest that you not sign anything until you speak to a lawyer. This all sounds pretty bad. Get some advice before you do anything.

Please keep in mind that my response is just a general comment on your question, and not legal advice. Your question and any response does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between you and this law firm. The exact details of your situation and things that you have not mentioned in your question can completely change the answer to your question. You can not rely upon what I have written, because I do not have all of the information that I need to advise you, I only have the very small amount of information that you put into your question. For me to give you any legal advice, I would need for you to hire me to be your lawyer, and then we would need to discuss this in detail and go over the documents.
