Q: If one party fully transfer ownership to the other party can they sell the property? .
Ex-husband acquired property before we were married. We terminate our community property and enter into a regime of separation of property before a lawyer and signed paperwork.. Ex-Husband signed and agreed to bargain, convey, sell, waive, and deliver property in full ownership to me. The home went into foreclosure and he moved to California so I took out a personal loan to pay the outstanding charges. I gave him $2000 in exchange for the home. I been living at the residence over 10 years. Does he have the right to put another mortgage on the home or even sell it with the mortgage company?
A: Did he execute a Deed of his interest to you? If not, he still owns an interest, which could possibly be mortgaged or executed upon.
