Maybe. It depends on what sort of property is in question, how that property is held by more then one individual, if the person(s) are married and if so whether or not they reside in a community property state.

In CP states all property belonging to a married debtor can be seized even though only one spouse is the named debtor. In non CP states where only one spouse is the debtor joint property such as bank accounts can usually be protected from creditor judgments. When it relates to property jointly owned by a individuals who are not married the issue is more complexed.

If mom and daughter have names on mortgage of Mobile Home and land in Park and one dies is the other liable for their credit card debts Is the property automatically the survivors without fees etc.?

Only the person whose name is on the account is responsible to pay credit card debt, with the exception of married couples living in community property states. In regards to the mobile home, the names on the mortgage are not what constitutes ownership, it is how the property is titled. In order to have real property pass to the joint owner upon the death of the other one, property is usually titled as Joint Tenants With Rights of Survivorship (JTWRS). It is very important that a property title is worded correctly in accordance with the laws of the state, to avoid any legal difficulties.

Mortgage in your name deed in both your names - not married - you wish to sell - Do you need the other deedholder to agree?

State laws govern the way real property is titled. When it concerns unmarried persons the propety is titled either Joint Tenancy or Tenants In Common. Joint Tenancy means the parties own equal and undivided interest and both have to agree on any sale or title transfer. Tenancy In Common generally will allow one party to sell their interest w/o the consent of the other owner(s). Concerning private residences, this is rather pointless. It is unlikely that anyone would care to buy half of a house. Usually one of the involved person's buys out the other person's interest.

If your name is not on the mortgage and you contribute towards it how do you stand if you get divorced with kids involved?

It will depend on the specifics of your situation and the laws of your state regarding whether the property is considered to be separate property or marital property. Even if your name is not on the mortgage/title, it would likely be considered marital property if it was purchased (not received by/purchased from funds received by gift or inheritance) during the marriage. Check the laws of your state regarding divorce/property distribution. * The names on the mortgage only indicate the persons responsible for the repayment of the loan. Ownership of any property is determined by how said property is titled. In community property states all property acquired during a marriage is considered jointly owned. In non-community property if the title does not contain both spouse's names state laws governing marital property take precedence, usually it will be resolved by equitable distribution.
