Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

Bad idea. Once you sign a deed of any kind transferring your interest in the marital home to your ex-husband, it's his, and you won't share in the proceeds of sale. Yes, you're entitled to under the settlement agreement, but it will be difficult to enforce that once the home is no longer titled in your name.

Ask your mortgage broker and lender if your mortgage can't wait until after the sale is completed and you get your share of the proceeds? You should have had legal advice when the Agreement of Sale of the marital home was entered - both you and your ex-husband would have had to sign it - so that the settlement date could be geared to your needs.

THIS RESPONSE IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE, SINCE I DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED, AND I DO NOT HAVE A REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT WITH YOU.

* If the answers to your question confirm that you have a valid issue or worthwhile claim, your next step should almost always be to establish a dialog with a lawyer who can provide specific advice to you. Contact a lawyer in your county or township.

* Another reason for contacting a lawyer is that it is often impossible to give a good answer in the Internet Q&A format without having more information. The unique circumstances of your situation and things that you may not have thought to mention in your question may completely change the answer. If you want to be sure that you have a complete answer to your question and an understanding of what that answer means, establish a connection with a lawyer who practices in the area of your concern.
