    Default Ex-Spouse Got a Mortgage on Real Estate Awarded to Me in Our Divorce

    My question involves real estate located in the State of: California

    In 2008 I hired the lawyer to do quiet title on the property (condominium) in Los Angeles. The court order was issued. According to the order I possessed 92% of property and my ex husband 8%. In addition his 8% had determined value of 32k dollars. In the order I was given the option to pay him off, and after me depositing money to the escrow, court should issue the deed from ex husband to me, and I would own 100 % of the condominium.

    Right now in2016, I wanted to pay him off and sell the condo. From the property report I found out that he (my ex), in 2010 took the loan against the property (after court order of quiet title) loan of 94k dollars. How was he able to do it, was it legal, and what are my options.

    Now I am living out of US, I am in advanced retirement age. The lawyer who did quiet title , simply is ignoring my questions .

    Can someone help ?

    You will have to investigate with the lender to find out how he was able to get the loan. Odds are he submitted a loan application that falsely represented that you were a co-borrower or consented to the loan, perhaps with your forged signature, and that would not have been legal. Your options are to ask him to pay off the loan, to investigate further and decide if you want to make a police report, and/or to sue him.
