The only thing I implied is that the court cannot transfer titled land in that proceeding. It required the signature of the ex on the deed. While the court can still, by power of contempt, demand the ex sign; the OP wants the court to just transfer the property on a motion. . . .
Then in that respect and with all due respect, you are totally mistaken.
Because the authority to make a division of marital real property necessarily includes the authority to effect it by formal decree.
A decree and/or an abstract of which can be duly recorded in the appropriate land records.
Similarly to the recording of a decree quieting title to land or an order decreeing title acquired by adverse possession, an order of distribution of land out of probate, etc., etc.
Moreover it is an axiom of law that a court of law has the inherent power to enforce its own orders. Which includes the authority of the court to execute such instruments on behalf of a reluctant or unavailable litigant and as needed to enforce its own orders.
And with regard to your statement,
"the OP wants the court to just transfer the property on a motion".
That is precisely the remedy that the OP should pursue!
Provided that is, that the form of the present decree does not adequately describe the real property or is unclear as to the court’s intent, etc. , and thus is not presently acceptable for recording.
In which case he should proceed with a
Motion Nunc Pro Tunc requesting that the decree be so revised as to accurately reflect the court’s intentions with regard to its orders of distribution of marital property and be in a form suitable for recording.
