Q: While I was married, my mother sent money for me to buy an apt and manage it for her in Florida
My Wife knows it is an apt that belongs to my mother but, the apt is registered under my name. If I get divorced, do I have to give her 50% ( FL law )of the apt ? What are my options to fight her ( Wife ) on it ?
TIA
A: You should consult with a real estate attorney to change the title to the property to better reflect that it is your mother's particularly if she is living there since if she is and it is in your name she is not getting the homestead exemption.
Bruce Alexander Minnick agrees with this answer
A: Get rid of the apartment before you seek a divorce. Any real estate lawyer can help you.
A: I would suggest hiring a Real Estate attorney.
