You have to talk to the person or company or bank who holds the mortgage.
yes, but it rarely happens.
The bank does not care who holds the mortgage. If the loan is not being paid, it can be foreclosed on.
No. The co-signer is fully responsible for paying that mortgage for the life of the mortgage. The bank owns the mortgage and the reasons why the primary borrower needed a co-signer is the reason why the bank wanted another person to promise to pay. It will remain on your credit record as an unpaid mortgage until it is paid off. If the primary borrower fails to make payments the bank will go after the co-signer to pay. It is your debt.No. The co-signer is fully responsible for paying that mortgage for the life of the mortgage.

Generally that means the mortgage was given to the bank before your name went on the deed. In that case you need to pay the mortgage or the bank will take the property by foreclosure.
A mortgage IS a lien on the property. The bank already has an interest in the property that was perfected as soon as the mortgage was recorded in the land records. If you purchase property that is subject to a mortgage, the mortgage must be paid or the bank will take possession of the property by foreclosure.
The short answer is, nothing good. As a co-signer, you are still responsible for making sure the mortgage payments are made in full on time. However, you should talk to the bank that holds the mortgage to see what you need to do, particularly if the title of the house doesn't come to you through the will or settling of the estate.
You would be in default of the mortgage and the bank will take possession of the property by foreclosure. You would lose your home.
You must notify the bank of the transfer and arrange to pay off the mortgage in full.
The object of a reverse mortgage arrangement is for the bank to sell the property for a profit when the mortgage becomes due. Banks do not sit on vacant properties for long. Generally, if the mortgagor is moved to assisted living or a nursing home the mortgage becomes due. Any non-borrower living in the premises must move out. If a borrower fails to pay the property taxes, maintain insurance or fails to maintain the home, that will result in a default and the lender can foreclose. See related links.
no, not if it is a 1st mortgage. because of the mortgage tax relief act of 2007
The estate must be probated. Either the children need to pay the mortgage or the bank will take possession of the property by foreclosure.
