If they can find a mortgage company that is willing to take the risk. Because the tenancy is for the life of the holder, once they die, there is no recourse. Any interest rate would be extremely high as there is a great deal of risk.
A leasehold mortgage is an encumbrance on a tenant's interest in a lease conveyed to a lender as collateral for a loan to the tenant.
A landlord only collects rent from a tenant, not mortgage payments. If the landlord then holds a mortgage for the tenant, then they are no longer a landlord, rather, a mortgage holder, like a financial institution. There are many cases where the tenant has an option to buy the home, and many terms are discussed and agreed thereto. Landlords can turn into mortgage holders. Landlords can evict, but mortgage holders can foreclose-- two different types of court proceedings.
This sounds like a real mess. It sounds like two joint tenants own a piece of property in common with one having the mortgage in his name. The other joint tenant has a piece of property that has a home equity loan about to go into default. In one state the joint tenant with the home equity in default would lose that piece of property. It would not affect the piece of property he or she owned with a different person.
This is one of the real challenges in a life estate. State and country laws vary, but in general: The Life Tenant is responsible for the mortgage interest as well as the taxes, ordinary maintenance and repairs. The Remainderman is responsible for major repairs and the principle of the mortgage. One option may be to give up the life estate, leaving the Remainderman entirely responsible for the property, including the mortgage. This could be a negotiating point. I highly recommend visiting an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction to get help that works in your situation.
Mortgage insurance is mortgage insurance, usually sold to the applicant at the closing of the purchase of a house. At the title company. It has nothing to do with life insurance, per se, because upon death of the insured, the LOAN is paid off. The survivor RECEIVED NO CHECK.Life insurance, on the other hand, has nothing to do with mortgage insurance. Upon death of the insured, the SURVIVOR, not the title company, receives a check for the amount of the death benefit. You cannot find the word mortgage on what is euphemistically called by the agent "MORTAGE LIFE INSURANCE".The same answer applies, in general, to the question what is term life insurance.Mortgage life insuranceMortgage life insurance is a form of decreasing term life insurance. It pays off your mortgage if you die. Mortgage life insurance is often confused with Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). You buy mortgage life voluntarily to protect your survivors from having to make the monthly payments. But with Private Mortgage Insurance, lenders require you to buy a policy in order to protect them (the lenders) against the possibility that you will default on the debt.Mortgage life insurance is a life insurance policy that one would take out on themselves or another person involved in a mortgage take out on a home or business so that if they should die the mortgage can be paid off. As the amount of the mortgage is paid down the amount of life insurance received is lowered. This type of life insurance will never pay more than the amount of the remaining mortgage.Given the relatively low cost of term life insurance on a healthy person, one might consider buying a decreasing term life insurance policy at the inception of the mortgage, rather than as part of the real estate transaction. The trick is to correlate the period of the decreasing term with the amortization of the mortgage.
No. Only the fee owners can mortgage the property and they can only do so with the written consent of the life tenant.
Any person with an interest in the real estate would need to sign the mortgage so that the lender could foreclose in case of a default. Therefore, the fee owner, or remaindermen, can mortgage the property only with the written consent of the life estate holder. The holder of the life estate can only mortgage the property with the written consent of the fee owner.
As long as there is notice of the life estate in the public land records the bank would need the life tenant's signature on the mortgage and note in order to wipe out the life estate. If the life tenant didn't sign the original mortgage and note then the bank has a problem. If it forecloses, it would acquire possession of the property SUBJECT TO the life estate.

Yes. You can grant a mortgage on property owned in fee simple that is subject to a life estate. However, the life tenant must give their written consent by signing the mortgage. That way the lender can take possession by foreclosure, free and clear of the life estate, in the case of a default.
Absent an agreement between the now-deceased person & the heirs, typically not.
