The mortgage was in my ex brother in law's name. Before he passed away he deeded the house to me. Would I qualify as a eligible bidder or eligible tent buyer?
no. if you are on title to the property, you would not be able to bid at auction. the post is a little confusing because you say the "house was auctioned off" which implies it was already foreclosed upon so it's not clear how you would be able to bid on anything at this point.... Read more »

Yes, if you are on title you would be entitled to something. however, if he made all the payments, he could be credited for those. you would need to have a full consultation with a real estate attorney as to your rights and the specific facts of the matter.
No. But you have to take certain steps like filing a right of exemption and notify the collectors attorney that the funds are social security only.
