Re: rights of second wife
The ex wife may actually now own the house in its entirety or she may only own 1/2 of the value of the property. You need to speak with an attorney as soon as possible!

In the absence of a written agreement regarding ownership of the real estate, the ex wife owns one half in the home. I suggest you seek the advice of legal counsel immediately to review the facts. Gerald Hershenson Esq. 215-579-9390
