Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

What can I do to get these houses sold and bring legal action to my ex-husband

I was involved in a real estate scam where due to have good

credit I bought 2 properties under my name and my ex gained money by doing so to get himself out of financial difficulties, he said the properties would be sold as soon as he can, however he never did. The mortgage was never paid on both houses leaving the houses in forclosure, I am unaware of what to do in this situation the only thing I did was sign for these properties, which I am now held liable for, there is more to this and I hope I can get a response to try to rectify my problem.

You obviously need legal advice from an experienced real estate lawyer and possibly a bankruptcy lawyer. With over 30 years of real estate experience, I can probably help you. If you are in North Jersey call for an appointment. While any action will probably cost you at least $2500, the first consultation will be free if you mention this web site. If you are out of the area, call the local bar associaton for a referral to an experienced real estate lawyer. Good luck.
