Property Purchase w/Ex-Wife still on Deed

[Dan Walters]

Greetings everyone! Looking for some feedback. I have a property under contract that an individual is selling post divorce. Seller is the only one on the mortgage, however he did quit claim his then wife on to title. Upon their divorce, there was not a quit claim back to him nor is there anything in their divorce decree about releasing rights to the property. The seller believes the ex is out of the country and unlikely to obtain a quit claim from her. Title will not clear until then.

Any suggestions on how this can still work under the assumption she is unreachable?

Thanks in advance.
