Q: House with mortgage-Successor on mortgage-
Can the mortgage be put in my name with out paying off the Creditors and Heirs? This is for a house in Michigan
A:
The mortgage isn’t your real problem. It is the deed that matters.
And no you can’t just transfer a house through probate without taking creditors — and the other heirs — into account. There may be options but without seeing all the details (which would not be appropriate in a public venue like this) it is impossible to say for sure what your best options are.
I’d suggest contacting a local probate attorney to review all the facts and offer input.
