Generally, a divorce decree states the parties will not have any claims against each other's estates once the decree has been entered. A divorce decree should sever any links between the parties and prevent any future claims except for child support.

A buyer's attorney will review your divorce file to see if your wife was granted any interest in the property in the division of assets. If your wife was not granted an interest in the proceeds from the sale of the property or if the property isn't mentioned in the separation agreement at all you should be able to convey clear title without her signature.

You should review your divorce file for any mention of the property and contact the attorney who represented you in the divorce proceeding if you have any questions.

Is a joint mortgage needed for joint ownership?

Not necisarily. If you are married and the house was bought after the marriage then no. If you are married and the house was bought before the marriage and the person that did not originaly buy the house made one payment on it or you had a joint account that the payments came out of, then they are half owner. If you are just living together with no marriage, then the house it the person's that bought it, but you have to be carful of common law marriage.

If a spouse owns the property prior to marriage then marry and live in the property does the relationship automatically create a tenancy by the entirety?

No. What is yours before the marriage is yours, but there is one "hook" in this. If the person you marry invests in the house by payments or improvements then they may have a right to your house if you divorce. I own my home and will never let anyone make payments or improve my house if I marry. The gal across the street did that and when they divorced he got the house.
