Hi bafana,

You will have to ask the present owner of the property to transfer the property to you with the help of a warranty deed. Once the owner does so, notarize and record the deed at the county recorder's office.

Thanks

My mother and father had their name on the mortgage to my home that I was paying on. My dad died, I inherited half of the house along with half of the mortgage. They did NOT do a credit check on me. I was simply added and he was simply deleted with proof of a death certificate. The loan did not change at all. (same percentage, same loan amount, etc)

If you want to remove your deceased father's name from the mortgage, you will have to refinance the mortgage in your name. Once you refinance the mortgage, you would be responsible for paying off the mortgage dues in full.

My dad passed away and his name was taken off his house mortgage without any refinancing and he left it to me and my name went on with my mom's name. All we did was show a death certificate.

thank you for this information but still this topic is broad. what would be the advantage of selling a house than refinancing? would be both time and effort consuming?

selling a house versus refinancing? is this something that people actually think about?

"let's see...shall i sell my house or just refinance? should i cut my payments lower so i can afford them better, or just take my money and run? maybe i could go with a 15 year loan so i won't have a mortgage forever or else i can sell the house and not have a mortgage at all! yeah...that's the ticket...i'll just rent a one-bedroom apartment for a thousand dollars a month...cool!"

Recently co-signed as borrowers on a house for daughter.Please advise what could happen if for any reason payments could suddenly not be made.. Would they be able to take our mortgage free house,, or what would they do?

babs, have no fear about losing your home. keep on top of your daughter as best you are able to ensure that she doesn't run into difficulty, therefore putting your finances in jeopardy. that's the only worry you may have - your finances. i say "shame, shame" on the lender who neglected to inform you of your precise obligation here. you are fully obligated on the loan you just cosigned; the lender does not have to look to your daughter for payments, and they can actually seek payment from you at any time (in theory). the practice, however, is that they'll send statements to her and she'll make payments regularly.

if she defaults, your risk is that you'd have to begin making payments so as to avoid a foreclosure on her home. yours will not be jeopardized.
