<prompt> Human: Basically my spouse sold a house to a friend with no paper work, no lease.. just had them assume the house note.I never agreed to this. My spouse and this person no longer have a friendship. I will talk to a lawyer for clarification but in the meantime what happens? The tenant has no lease, my spouse insists they stay there and continue making payments, because of a verbal agreement i know nothing about. I want to sell and split the equity. The tenant wants to buy for 14 of market value which is less than we owe on the property. There is bad blood between all parties.  <response>: If your name is on the deed, together with your spouses, you own half the house. You can force a sale, and get your half of the money after the mortgage is paid off.You will have to deal carefully with the tenant, and evict properly.You need a real estate lawyer to steer you through all this unless your divorce lawyer happens to be able to handle it.Good luck.
