Possibly, but probably not. SC is not a community property state, but if you added your Ex's name to title, there could have a claim. If your Ex provided support for the home, in terms of making payments on the loan before the loan was paid off, or if your Ex provided funds for repairs, there could be a claim. If there was no loan at the time you inherited it, and if there was not a specific advancement of funds on your ex's part, then you should be able to claim outright ownership without having to share any of the value with your ex. ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z Team of NEXA Mortgage ~ NMLS 40586 ~ Licensed in AZ, CA, GA, IL, OR & WA...
