Unusual Situation

[LostInOhioLaws]

I live in the state of Ohio. When I got divorced, me and my ex was suppose to sell the house. He was not willing to assist in this matter , so we agreed to buy him out. He signed a quit claim deed and I re-financed the mortgage into my name only. For the past 2 years, I have been making the payments. Only to find out that the deed has not been recorded in my name only, it is still in both names . Now I have filed bankruptcy,(house was not included) and during this process my financial status changed. I am behind in payments, so I was looking forward to a foreclosure taking place. When I went to court for the bankruptcy, and the Judge seen that the title had not been recorded in my name, he put a lien on the property and became the owner, (he said he's doing this to PROTECT me: confused:. So, last week he sent a realtor to put my house up for sale. I did not agree with her on the sale price and suggested what I thought the price should be . She changed it to what I suggested. I was not impressed with her being the realtor in the sale of the house. My question: Is what has taken place legal and correct and can I choose who I want the realtor to be? Please help, I'm in need of legal advise in this matter ASAP!!! Thanks in Advance and I look forward to hearing from someone.

This is a typical situation that happens thousands of times a year all over the country.

So, let's start at the beginning.

What did YOU do with the quit claim deed you got from your ex-husband when he conveyed the land to you?
