Q: The divorce papers say I have to sell the house within 3 years of the divorce. The house is severely under water. My ex-wife wants her name totally off the house, she wants nothing to do with it. I re-financed and got her name off the mortgage, now we want to file a Quit Claim deed to get her off the title. A Lawyer drew up the deed and used, as an exception : ARS 11-1134 (A)(5)…5. A conveyance of real property that is executed pursuant to a court order. Is this exception OK?
A: Whether the exception is OK depends on what the court order says. If the court order can be interpreted to require the quitclaim deed, then the exception should be OK. You might want to ask the lawyer to give you a quick statement in writing stating that the exception is OK.
