I have a mortgage in my name and my wifes name. My wife passed away in Feb 2008. Since then I signed a commercial lease in my name for a business start-up. Can i put the mortgage in another persons name to protect the house in case I default on the commercial lease?

if I keep my name and add another persons name not involved in the commercial lease, does that help protect my home?

Hi shunnies,

Even if someone refinances the loan in his name and relieves you from the mortgage liability, your house would still be collateral for the loan. This means you can lose the property if he defaults on the loan. Moreover, you will if you add someone to the title, you still remain one of the owners of the property. Thus, if you default on the commercial agreement, the lessor can come after the house. Thus, putting the mortgage in someone else's name or adding him to the title will not help you in any way. I think you should get the lease agreement reviewed by an attorney and check out if the terms of agreement leaves you any scope to protect the property in case of a default.

You seem like you want to protect the house but is putting someone else's name on the title the best way to do that? This would have to be one trustworthy person. Are there not a truckload of bad scenarios that could result if you were to do this?

I would rethink that one! I would follow Jenkin7's advice.

Good luck!
Pat
