[OT, maybe] I need some advice, please
***************
Backstory: Nine years ago, I went through a particularly nasty divorce. To sum that up, she got everything. Kids, house, business, land, etc., and I got my **** handed to me. At the request of her attorney, I did execute some papers down at the local courthouse to remove my name from the real estate.
Present day: I received a quitclaim deed from some lawyer I never heard of [neither mine or hers from the divorce] the other day. The attorney in question wants me to sign off on any rights I may still have to the property. Funny, I distinctly remember having done all that nine years ago. Seems to me that if her attorney screwed up, it's not my problem.
Anyway, I've attached a copy of the quitclaim deed and cover letter I received to this post. Would some of you with more legal knowledge than I've got be so good as to look over it for me? My specific concerns are as follows:
a - In the letter, it seems as though this lawyer is representing the buyers, rather than my ex. This is borne out by the language of the deed. Any way to be certain, short of calling the guy and asking?
b - The mis-spelling of my name. In the deed, they got it wrong at the very beginning, correct at the signature line, and wrong again in the notary block. I'm thinking this is sufficient to force a re-do on a document of this type. Yes/no?
c - The matter of the supposed consideration that he imagines I've gotten, and wants me to acknowledge. As I said Tuesday morning, I haven't seen any ten bucks, let alone any other "good and valuable consideration." That being the case, I'm certainly not minded to acknowledge anything.
d - From the tone of the letter, it seems that the sale of the property is a done deal, rather than pending. Yet, if that were the case, I wonder why I'm sitting here puzzling over this crap at two in the morning.
e - In light of [d], I'm wondering whether or not there might be some legal workaround they can pull in the event that I decline to sign off on this. In other words, how strong is my leverage here?
Thanks for any help y'all can provide.

Unc-sorry, I don't know the answer to your question. I want to "bump" this up, so others can see it. I had a quit claim deed signed over to me from my mom a few years back-somewhere it stated that as long as she was alive she can live here, then it goes to me-other than that, don't know the legal ramifications of what you are talking about..Good Luck!!..karen :D

were there mineral rights? back taxes owed? liens on the property that resulted from creditors after the divorce? quit claim to my knowledge is valid when all of this if free and clear name misspelled ? was it misspelled originally? if not signing off would be a waste of time The sale is not a done deal if they are waiting on your signature dont sign anything until you find out why they need your signature your ass handed to you might bring you in a few dollars now if they need your signature to complete the deal
