Who owns a home if the ex wife died before refinancing?

Patrick "Leh" Meriwether
Answered by attorney Patrick "Leh" Meriwether
Divorce lawyer at Meriwether Tharp, LLC
This question is a tricky one and would require a review of the divorce decree/agreement and the quitclaim deed signed to properly answer it. Depending on what those documents say, the recourse would be to either bring a contempt action against the estate of the ex-wife or to file some type of claim with the probate Court.

Robert Jensen 'Bob' Matlock
Answered by attorney Robert Jensen 'Bob' Matlock (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Mackoy, Hernandez, Jones and Woods LLP
If she is the owner of the house, she should be the only one who signed the refinancing paperwork. You can find a copy of the deed of trust in the county deed records.

Who is entitled to the funds from our second property in a divorce?

Theodore William Buselmeier
Answered by attorney Theodore William Buselmeier (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Buselmeier Law & Associates, P.A.
Generally, so long as your refinanced money could be traced (that is, proved that you used the refi money to purchase the home), then that initial equity would be considered nonmarital property and not subject to division. You're correct, the gain realized during the marriage would be marital property and therefore divided. However, there is a law in MN that allows for division of nonmarital property but it is largely discretionary by the judge and not commonly applied. I can think of many scenarios that you would allow for distribution of your nonmarital property voluntarily. One example would be payment for consideration of a spousal maintenance (alimony) waiver.
