The mortgage payments have been getting paid I just want to get away from the person and rid of house ..

Short answer is that a mortgage must be satisfied before you sell the house or satisfied at closing. If the mortgage is not satisfied the purchaser will be buying the house subject to the recorded mortgage lien. Please feel free to call my office if you have additional questions.

Directly, no, unless one or more of the heirs has signed a guarantee with the provider(s) of health care for the deceased.
An argument may be made by the creditor, however, for heir-liability, in the absence of a guaranty, if any of the heirs claimed the decedent as a dependent during life.... Read more »

Did your friend order an inspection as part of the purchase process? Did the lender require an inspection or appraisal before approving the loan?
What is the purpose of them asking for the appraisal.? And will it affect selling the house by the owner before foreclosure?
Will it cause problems with other lenders in the future, if foreclosure is avoided?
answered on Oct 25, 2022
Given that there is already a pending foreclosure action, you probably can be compelled to afford the lender the opportunity to conduct an on-site appraisal, with the court's assistance.

Home, that I cared for for years but had to go to a nursing home and she had a reverse mortgage on the home and is now in foreclosure and so I will need to find a place to live or buy the property at forclosure? Is that my only option?
answered on Sep 6, 2022
There are specific rules regarding the purchase/repayment of the reverse mortgage by a family member. If the reason for the foreclosure is that your Grandmother is in a Nursing Home the contract should have provisions that cover this situation. It could be dependent on her status and whether it...

My real estate agent notified my mortgage company.
My mortgage company has listed my home on Zillow for sale after it is under agreement.. is this legal?
answered on Sep 1, 2022
If the mortgage is recorded then any "sale" takes subject to the mortgage which could be foreclosed. Your agent and buyer do not know what they are doing. You as the mortgagor might expedite the sale and get a release of the mortgage prior to foreclosure.

To complete a "short sale", you need to procure the consent of the mortgage holders. Both of them, because your buyer will want to take legal title free of all liens and encumbrances. In other words, you need to persuade both lenders that the best way for them to be repaid is from a... Read more »
My father's house is going into foreclosure in August due to unpaid property taxes and mortgage loan. He also has IRS and medical debts. If the house was transferred to my name and the house related debts were paid paid, could a lien still be put on the house for his other debts?
answered on Jun 11, 2021
Depends on his agreement with the IRS. You should run this by an accountant, but if the house is transferred they can't put a lien on something he doesn't own.
If the information on a property deed is false can a agreement be made based from it
answered on May 25, 2021
The agreement refers to the deed. If the deed does not accurately describe things then you may have a claim with the title insurnace company or others. I suggest you review this with an attorney who handles real estate matters.

Although you need to speak with a Texas lawyer, as a general proposition, if you are the sole person on the deed, you have the right to sell it. However, if there is, in fact, a written lease, any sale would have to honor the terms of that lease. Therefore, as a practical matter, you better find... Read more »

Make sure it's titled in her name. She should give you a document that she accepts all responsibility. You say "x"--did you have a divorce (if she got posession that may cover it) or just separated?
