Provided the estate is solvent, she should be able to obtain the title to the home, subject to the remaining mortgage. She can remain in the home, but will have to satisfy the finance company's lien on the home through a new mortgage or paying it off. There may be additional clauses in the will directing that the mortgage be paid off by the estate. The executor of the estate, or their legal counsel, will be able to answer these questions.

Can a daughter continue to make the mortgage payments on a house she lives in but that is in her father's name after the father dies if there are no outstanding estate bills and no other beneficiaries?

Yes you can. Make an appointment with a loans officer at the bank your mortgage is at. They will take you through all the paperwork and answer any questions you may have. You will have to have proof of death (death certificate) and possibly the birth certificate of the deceased. Phone first and see what legal documents they require. Be sure you phone other banks and check out the prime rate of mortgages so you can dicker at the bank for a good mortgage rate. Very sorry to hear about your father passing away. Marcy


Can a father and daughter have a mortgage together?

Yes, they can.


My father is deceased. Can I take over his mortgage and keep it in his name?

Yes. If you are a relative of the deceased and choose to live in the house, you can take over the mortgage in the deceased's name. See: Garn-St. Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982. You can also take over the mortgage if the property is in a trust, and you are listed as trustee. ************************************************************ No. Once a family member is deceased you cannot take over the mortgage under his/her name. The only way is if you are on the Deed of Trust, Title, or his will. Note: Technically, most mortgage notes and deeds of trust state that the loan may be called due and payable in the event of borrower death. However, first the lender must become aware of the death, and second they must decide to enforce that clause. It is possible to continue paying your father's loan until the lender becomes aware of the death (although from a legal and possibly ethical standpoint you should submit a death certificate to them as soon as you have it). Mortgage documents usually contain a "delay of enforcement" clause that allows the bank to decide not to enforce any adverse action without losing the right to do so later, which includes calling the loan due and payable. There have been instances where a lender was aware of a borrower death yet allowed the estate to continue making payments for a certain period of time (such as 120 days to sell the home) up to and including the remaining life of the loan. Remember that while lenders usually require the loan be refinanced or paid off after a sole borrower dies, their primary interest is the performance of the loan. This is where the gray area lies that allows for some ambiguity and wiggle room.

What should be done regarding a home mortgage that is jointly held by a father and son when the father dies?

There are several issues that you'll need to address: Was there mortgage insurance? If so, contact them to see what the process is to have the insurance pay off the mortgage. How was the title worded? Did the father have a will? Does the son have resources to continue the mortgage payments? You may need to contact a lawyer to find out what to do next, especially since so many of those issues are determined by the laws of the state.
