Hi,

Welcome to the forum.

Do you want the property? If so then you will have to take the mortgage on your name. So talk to the lender ASAP.

But if you don't want the home then try out short sale. Short sale is far better than DIL or foreclosure.

Feel free to ask if you have any farther questions.

Best of luck,
Larry

You can either assume the mortgage or sell the house. Talk to the lender about assuming the mortgage.
