What else can I help you with?
If someone died and left a house with a mortgage in a trust can you just keep making the house payments or do you need to notify the mortgage holder and can they demand the note be paid in full?
You didn't say if the person who left the house was a parent or a friend. If it's parents you must provide a copy of the death certificate to the mortgage holder. Usually, the mortgage holder would have no problem with you continuing on with the payments. Depending on where you stand in the Will you may have to take a loan out to either pay the full mortgage the mortgage holder is holding, and then make your mortgage payments to your own banking institution. It's best to go straight to the mortgage holder and ask these questions so there are no mistakes made. Good luck Marcy
Do chapter 7 bankruptcy relieves you of a mortgage in a divorce but the spouse stills lives in the home?
Filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy will discharge your personal obligation to pay the mortgage, but it does not remove the lien on the property. Therefore, the mortgage lender can still foreclose on the home if the mortgage payments are not made. In a divorce, the issue of who is responsible for the mortgage payments would typically be addressed in the divorce settlement or court order.
What if the spouse dies and there is still a lien on the house but both parties signed the mortgage?
Most lenders will allow you to continue to make the payments as the loan is. Some may modify the loan. As long as you can continue the payments, you will be ok.

What paper work do you do when a person wants to have another person take over payments on her house and transfer the title until its paid for?
You will need to make contact with the mortgage holder (people that loaned money to buy the house) and get their approval. Until the loan is paid off, the mortgage agreement is between the homeowner and the mortgage holder. That agreement cannot be changed without their approval, or a court order (such as bankruptcy) or the death of the borrower. In effect, you would transferring your mortgage to the other person- and that person might not be acceptable to the mortgage company.

After a divorce must your ex spouse pay half of the mortgage payment if their name is on the mortgage?
That issue should have been addressed in writing in your Separation Agreement when you were divorced. You need to review it and the decree. All financial matters between the parties should be addressed in that agreement. If the mortgage wasn't addressed then you are each equally responsible for payments. If the payments aren't made and the loan goes into default the bank will foreclose and take possession of the property. That means if your ex-spouse isn't helping with the payments the responsibility to make the full payments falls on you or you will lose the house. You should call the attorney who represented you in the divorce and ask them what to do.
