Purchased property from a divorce man

I have recently purchased a property which was in single person name. I didnt happen to take his wife signature as the seller informed that his wife is in US. One month after the registration, we found from the neighbours that this person has divorced his wife. As per my knwoledge the seller had a wife and two children who are still minor.

My question is that, will there be any future problems on my deal as I didnt take any signature from his entire family? What consequences I may face?

I am really worried of these as I have invested all my savings. Please advice.

if flat is in single person name and the owner has sold flat you may not face problems . have yyou cross checked from the society where flat is as to whether said flat is subject to nay attachment from any court .

did you obtain NOC from society .?

did you engage a lawyer . have you verified all original documents of flat?

Thanks Mr.Ajay.

I did not invlolve any lawyer for the deal. But, I have taken a loan from reputed MNC bank and they have invlolved a lawyer for paper verification and also during the registration process.
