If a deed has to be transfered before divorce can be finalized per separation agreement, can it be done the day of the hearing? It’s suppose to be changed to husband and wife as joint tenants for survirorship. Last hearing got continued due to it not being done yet, it says in separtation agreement that husband is to get it changed and I have yet to hear anything and I am pro se, and I have contacted his attorney asking for a status update and he’s not responded.
Assuming the separation agreement reads as you have written it, that the deed must be recorded prior to the absolute divorce being entered, then yes, it could be signed and recorded on the day of the absolute divorce court date.
