Q: I have a brother who is incarcarated in prison and has been there for 20 months.
His wife has left him and their home and has moved into a home with her new boyfriend although she is still married. neither her or my brother has made a mortgage payment in 20 months. my father sold the home to them and stayed on the loan as a cosigner and has had to make all of these payments. is their a law he could use to take back the property. we live in ohio.
A: The simplest thing would be to have the wife and husband quit claim deed the property to your father. But if they are unwilling, I am unsure as to how your father could get the property in his name. I would recommend consulting with a local Real Estate Attorney.
