I would find out if you can 'assume' the mortgage. You will need to speak to the mortgage dept, and they'll tell you yes/no. You will need to qualify to do this....and they'll also ask to see your payments.

otherwise, to change the mortgage into your name you will need to refinance.

Hi bextracool,

You can contact the lender and check if they are ready to do a novation. Novation is also a process of transferring the mortgage. However, it will be the discretion of the lender whether he will agree to it or not. If the lender does not agree, then as Banker has said, you will have to refinance it.

Thanks,

Jerry

Hi,
Yes, You can transfer the ownership of mortage from your father to you. For that you need to ask to your father then you can transfer to your self. For that you can take advoice from any lender..
Other option is you go through by quit claim or refinance so you can easilly transfer the ownership.

I hope you unerstand.

Regards
Dilip
