Like 0 Dislike 0 I am currently living in my mother's house. The house was in her name. She passed away on Feb. 16 of this year. I have not been able to purchase the house do to credit score and not having enough for down payment. I am being told that I have to leave today 4-09-08. Is there not a grace period or what is the law in the state of Michigan for a redemption period. please help if anybody has a suggestion

Generally the lender will allow you 6 months for the redemption period in Michigan but Adonis has rightly said that it will not be less than 30 days and not more than 1 year according to the Michigan law. Feel free to ask if you have any further questions. Best of luck, Larry

Your home isn't a four unit property 2. You owe less than 2/3rd of the debt You can redeem the property only if you pay off the following: Mortgage balance Late fees Attorney fees Court costs Title and appraisal costs Taxes/home insurance if any paid by lender after the Sheriff Sale Regards, Jessica. _________________ http://jessica.mortgagefit.com/

If your mother passed away during the foreclosure and you are the legal heir to the property and there is no will made out to hand the property to you, an estate needs to be opened and you will have to be served notice, typically in michigan foreclosure if non-judicial lasts for 68-72 days and foreclosures are normally on wednesday of every week(im not sure). after the foreclosure date you have 6 months to pay back amount at sale + all costs. if the owner of the property vacates the property within 6 months , then lender can file abandonment and acquire the property in 30 days by posting a notice. The important questions who now owns the property and while lender was proceeding with foreclosure who owned the property?. What kind of a loan was it was it a reverse mortgage? _________________ Need help choosing the right loan? Get free consultation from community lenders/consultant

You are right in thinking the property may have a reverse mortgage since it belongs to his mother. Hey MKnight, you seem to have good knowledge about estate and foreclosure.

The letter will mention the time period within which you need to redeem the property. _________________ Procrastination is the enemy of your financial success
