What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Rhode Island
In 2002 I purchased a house with my wife.
In 2007 we divorced and our divorce decree included an agreement for the distribution of the proceeds from the sale of the house.
Due to the down market and economy, we were unable to find a buyer in 2007 or 2008.
In September 2008, my ex-wife remarried. Three weeks later in October she died. Apparently she died intestate having had no will.
How can I proceed now? I'm getting remarried and I want to sell the house at a loss and be done with it.
Does her widower have a stake in the house? How do I proceed?
Thanks,
James
