Hi kazwalton!

Welcome to forums!

If your name is on the property deed, then you can definitely claim a portion of the property. The division of the property will be mentioned in your divorce decree. You should contact your divorce attorney and discuss about claiming the portion of a property as a part of your divorce settlement.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

thank you for your reply. on my divorce document it says " any property which, or an interest in which, is devised or bequeathed to the former spouse shall pass as if the former spouse had died on the date on which the marriage is dissolved unless a contrary intention appears on the will.
I am not sure what this means. can you help me with this matter please.

Hi karen,

In my opinion, it means that you would receive the property after your divorce settlement. However, it would be better if you could contact an attorney and he can help you in understanding the statement in divorce decree properly.

Thanks
