    Lien placed on house due to ex-wife a year after divorce.
    My client was divorced in 2005 and in the divorce decree he received the house and she got money. About 18 months later she had a business go belly up and her landlord put a lien on his house because she never came off the deed. All the divorce paperwork shows he got the house and she gave up all rights to the property, but he had no lawyer, only she did. Was her lawyer responsible to change the deed and take her name off? Owner is looking to refinance the house, but the ex-wifes landlords lien is for 11,000 and he does not want to pay it. I was told there is a law in Pennsylvania where the landlord must remove the lien if my client shows the lanlord that the court/divorce paperwork shows that she is no longer legally entitled to the property due to the divorce 18 months before he placed the lien. HELP please.

    If there was a lien on the property HE had to get a new mortgage and do a new deed. HE was responsible to get the deed changed, He had to as noted pay off the mortgage if her name was on it and then do a new deed with just his name.
