Legal Question in Family Law in Utah

My husband of 20 plus years, we divorced almost 2 years ago. We bought a house together. In the divorce decree it stated if he paid me X amount of $$ he would keep the house. Recently he has passed away & my name is still on the house because we never signed off on the quick claim deed. He has also re-married. What do I do about that. Am I still responsible or can I sign off on the house to whom I choose (children)?

The simple answer is: If he paid you the money, the house will probably be awarded to his widow and children. If you were not paid the money, you will probably be entitled to the house. However, there may be additional complications, you are welcome to call for a free consultation.
