I had nothing to due with the purchase or mortgage on this property and the lender has put a lien on my home in Rhode Island saying I am responsible for his mortgage is this legal. He also had an ex-wife however I’m not sure if her name is on the deed or mortgage. I see no legal reason how I can be held responsible for his debt can you please help me. Brenda

If your name is not mentioned on the mortgage deed, then you can't be held responsible for the mortgage. You should check out the mortgage docs in order to find out whether or not your name is mentioned in it as a borrower. Feel free to ask if you've further queries. Sussane
