Ex's share

My ex for 30 years name is on an investment that I bought with my own money. We each had our own investments and shared investments during our not too long marriage. This was overlooked during a very amicable separation. I've never needed the money and was waiting to see who died first. Now I want to build a barn and the investment is now at an all time high at over $40,000. I'm thinking of offering her $5,000 to sign off. AIBU?

Morally, if she contributed nothing to this investment then she deserves no return from this investment but legally is likely to be very different. It will all depend on how decent a human she wants to be.

Maybe get some legal advice in your country.

Probs get a more accurate answer than asking an internet forum that you’ve randomly stumbled on.

I think overlooked is a euphemism for hidden

Yes, I would assume so, I was just wondering if OP had some form of justification for it

Why would you think your ex would accept such a small percentage of the value?

Unless she made an indirect contribution that enabled her then-husband to make the investment. It is all family money on MN after all.
