In the absence of a court order dividing this property, you and your ex-husband's estate are co-owners (i.e., tenants in common) with respect to the property. This means that the beneficiaries of your ex-husband's estate (his heirs) now own the share of the property that you do not. See an attorney to discuss the situation.
