Your argument would be that you used the land as if it were your own, you landscaped it, cut the grass, watered the plants, built on it, parked your car there, etc. (if all that is the case) and if the town assessed it to you, paid taxes on it, and that it should have been obvious to the...

You would sell your interest in the property the same way you would sell any interest in real property.

This is a question for your attorney, the closing attorney, or the attorney that obtained the probate sale papers. Why take the risk? Have it correctd.

I see the issue as governed by whatever agreement you had with your ex regarding the house at the time of your divorce or separation. I suggest you go back to your divorce lawyer and see if anything can be done to access the surplus.
