2 later decisions quote this exact passage“In a dissolution proceeding, the document which conveys one spouse’s interest in the homestead to the other spouse simultaneously creates a lien in favor of the spouse who will no longer be allowed to live in the residence. In effect, the property is conveyed subject to a lien to secure payment of the nonresident spouse’s share of the property settlement. (Emphasis added).”
