    Where did this happen? (location). What type of separation was it? Was it a legal separation or just something you agreed on ? How was the house titled?

    Not near enough info. Any question on law needs to include your general locale as laws vary by area. Without knowing the terms of the separation its impossible to answer.

    I'm guessing here that you agreed to the sale because if the property was titled in both your names, you needed to sign the deed to transfer the property. If that is not the case, the sale was potentially fraudulent. If it is the case, then what were the terms of the agreement. You may have to get your share as part of the divorce settlement or sue her for your share.

    More background and details will help us help you.

    In other words, before she sold the house, who did the deed say was the owner of the house, you, your wife, or you and your wife?

    My sister's husband forged her signature... not as impossible as it sounds. She was in Maine, trying to earn money because he had quit his job, and he was over the border in Nova Scotia, trying to start a business. End result: no business, no house, no money for either one of them, divorce.

    Implausible then.

    You still haven't indicated where the property is located, Maine, Nova Scotia, or elsewhere. But wherever it is, I strongly suspect that a notary public would have to had signed and sealed the deed. Thus you could file a lawsuit to set aside the transfer, and file a claim against the notary's bond.
