Cayuga county NY is the location, I'm an only child so I'm sole heir. I think my mom might have 2 mortgages on the house but I want to find a way to get the house when my mother eventually passes instead of the bank immediately repossessing it.

My husband passed away in February which lowered the household income significantly. His survivors benefits should be awarded to me by the end of the month. I have discussed this with the lender, but received no response on my last inquiry. What are my legal options?

A fine imposed... View More
