A: That would depend on a lot of information that is missing such as was their a property settlement agreement when they got divorced. Was she still named on the deed. Was she living in the property and this is just three of the many questions a lawyer would need to ask before giving you an answer. If you need to know the answer, I suggest you setup a consultation with a lawyer, it may cost a few bucks but it could save you tens of thousands later on.
