Am I responsible for a foreclosure on a house that is in my name if I signed over all of my rights to it over to my ex-husband as part of our divorce?
While my ex-husband and I were married we bought a house. I was only on the deed not the loan and in the divorce signed over all rights to the house including deed. He has since then let the house go into foreclosure and they are now trying to sue us. Am I responsible?

Since you did not sign the note, you will not be responsible for any deficiency in payment of the loan.
