Dear Ms. Sheets-Parker:
The first thing your husband needs to do is find the final judgment and/or settlement agreement from his divorce. The disposition of the property should be addressed in the Final Judgment/Settlement Agreement. If the ex was supposed to deed the property to your husband and she has not, then a court can force that to occur. Beyond that, I would need to know what the agreement said in order to advise your husband how to proceed.
Certainly, a family law attorney should be able to assist you with this issue. Hopefully it will be an easy fix.
Best of luck,
