I'm trying to settle my late husband's estate. He divorce in 2000 and in his divorce papers it stated that they would be reliable for their own debts. They owned two different lots. One in her name only and one in both names.in the divorce my late husband was awarded the lot titled in his name which the deed wasn't changed at the time. My late husband had an agreement that when one of the lots was paid for she would sign a quick deed for both lots. My late husband paid all debts on the lots plus taxes for 13 years.She now claims she owns one 1/2 lots.The lots are in Georgia.I have gotten no where with my lawyer and this has been going on for almost three years.Please I need advice on what to do with this problem? FyI he got custody of their two minor children in their divorce.I have all payment records on lots and taxes for 16 years when they separated and divorced.

Was the agreement in writing? Part of the divorce decree? Is there any proof of it?

Unless you can prove the agreement she owns 1 lot. If the divorce decree awarded him the other than you can get that title changed.

What about the money that was paid for the lot titled in his ex's name after she defaulted ? Have copies of default letter and copies of all payments on lot and taxes.

What do you mean you "have gotten no where with [your] lawyer"? Has a lawsuit been filed? Ask this lawyer what the problem is.

The law would consider them a gift. He was under no obligation to make those payments. They may help in your case to show he thought he was going to, eventually, get ownership of the lots, but that would be for a court of law to decide. And its not slam dunk.
