Q: Ex spouse awarded residence Grandma left us as joint tenants. Will in probate. Quit claim to property w/o title legal?
Girlfriend and I moved in with my Grandma to care for her in 2013. We got married and grandma changed will naming us as joint tenants. Grandma died in 2015. Ex filed for divorce 2017. Can Judge award her my grandma's home forcing me to quit claim for property still in probate that title to is not in our names?
A:
The property will be awarded to both of you. You might try to get the house sold in the probate court. Generally the house would be considered the separate property of each of you in the divorce. You should consult an experienced probate and family law attorney, for help with this problem ASAP.
