Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas
Deed of Trust Transfer
In the state of Texas can my ex-husband transfer an original Deed of Trust, which contains both our names, to another Deed of Trust in his name and his new wife's name without my consent or signature? If so can he use our divorce decree to justify this transfer if he was awarded this property in our divorce mediation (ownership was contingent on certain conditions being met by him)?

Re: Deed of Trust Transfer
It depends on the actual wording in the Decree of Divorce. Frankly, if your ex got the house in the divorce, you would probably want to be off of the mortgage anyway.
