propert deed has exwife on it....need to remove

[crftsman]

What is the name of your state? Georgia

(I had asked this earlier in someone elses thread....sorry for hijacking)

I have a very similar problem that I have seen in other threads and I have not seen any replies that I feel thorouhly answer this.

It has been over 10 years (1991) since I was divorced and in the divorce decree I was awarded the property in full. At the time, I didn't know that I should have had a Quit Claim deed prepared and had her sign.

For the last 5 years I have been trying to find her to sign one but I have had no luck locating her.

Question: Can a lawyer use just the divorce decree to help me get her name off the property deed , without having her sign anything (the divorce decree was signed by her though)?

If so, please elaborate.

Thanks

Hire a PI to 'skip-trace' her. Usually pretty simple, I do it all the time. Do you have her SSN??

Possibly. But why??

Not sure of why you asked " Why?" in the last reply.

The deal is I need her name taken off the deed. I have not been able to locaate her for ten years+ (and really don't want to deal with her now) . The divorce decree states thats I get the land in full and I want to be able to have her name taken off the deed!

I , by myself can't get a judge to remove her name.....can it be done with a lawyers help? or is there any other ways to have it removed?

Help!

Thanks again
