No. If she is not on the loan, then she is not obligated to the mortgage payment. But if the mortgage is not taken care of, she can lose the home.

thanks for the quick reply. Californian law is a little confusing. I just don't want the bank to come after her should anything happen to me.

Thanks for the help Smile cheers to you

Yeah, I live here. Confusing for sure.

Just to clarify, they won't come after her financially, but if the home loan is not taken care of, she will be kicked. out. Smile

Let me know if I can be of any more help.
