You should be able to backtrack and obtain the original order. His employer should have a copy of the wage order garnishment. The cause number and location of the court should be on there. You can then contact the clerk of the court for that county and obtain copies of the original documents.

You might find a form at www.in.gov/judiciary and look in the self help area. If you cannont find one, you might want to contact a lawyer to draft one for you on a single item retainer. This is also known as an unbundled service. An example can be found at my website.

You need a quitclaim deed. An attorney will usually prepare one for about $50. Your local Recorder will charge $16 to record it. I cannot recall if there is a $5 - $10 Auditors fee.
