answered on Jul 12, 2017
How did you determine that you are below 78%? Based on the original appraised value of the home? If not, then that may be why.

You can go to the probate court where the estate is being probated and state your case to the judge. If you are not an heir and have no right to assets of the estate, then i'd say you're likely out of luck. If you live there without a lease agreement then the estate administrator likely... View More

Generally, no you're not liable for the mortgage. However if you were added to the deed after the mortgage was given, the mortgage comes before your interest in the property so to keep the property you would have to make payment/refinance and take over the loan, or sell and pay off the loan....
