Legal Question in Family Law in Washington
house settlement
Hi,
My divorce is final. While married my
wife and I, purchased a
property in Washington state, that
was quit claimed to me by my (at the
time wife) at closing. The title and
loans are in my name.
The divorce settlement we both
signed (division of property) states
the house is awarded to me. I agreed
in exchange to give her an amount of
money.
Do I also need a document stating
that once she cashes the check she
will no further have any claims for
this property?
Thank you so much.
Kindest regards,
Gabriel

Re: house settlement
The short answer to your question is no. The quit claim deed, and the decree of dissolution are sufficient proof of the agreement reached between you and your ex-wife.
