I am on a mortgage note for a timeshare with my mom. She is filing bankruptcy and I just got a deed in lieu of foreclosure form in the mail. When I called for details, I was told I could either take over the payments or sign over the deed. I am a student and can't take over the payments at this time.

Hi dmalves,

A deed in lieu will lower your credit score by 250 points and would remain on your credit report for the next 7 years. Moreover, it would be difficult for you to get a mortgage for the next 2-3 years. To know more about deed in lieu of foreclosure, check out the following page:

Take care.
