Best Answer

The individual who was granted life estate to the property is responsible for taxes, maintaining the property at the level it was when the estate was granted. However, the individual does not solely own the property and therefore cannot rent, sell or in any manner encumber the property without the other persons who are involved being in agreement.

If a mother and daughter are both listed on the mortgage for a home and the mother passes away does the daughter listed on the mortgage become the sole beneficiary?

Signing a mortgage does not give you an interest in the real estate. An interest in real estate is acquired by deed. Hopefully you are also on the deed to the property as the joint owner with the right of survivorship. That would make you the sole owner of the property upon your mother's death. However, if you are not on the deed and you signed the mortgage then your mother's death would make you solely responsible to the lender for paying the mortgage and you would need to probate her estate so that title to the real estate would pass to her heirs. If there are other siblings they would inherit an equal interest in the property and perhaps you could make a claim against the estate for your mother's half of the mortgage balance. You should speak with an attorney.

If the property your son mortgaged is the same property in which you have a life estate then if he defaults on the mortgage and the lender takes possession you will also your life interest in the property since you also signed the mortgage.
