That depends on several factors, the main one being the state probate laws, if there was a valid will, how the property is titled, and if the deceased had any outstanding debts.
You still own the house if you have a reverse mortgage, yes.
I am so sorry your mother passed away. If you are executor (male) executrix (female) or heir in the Will, then it will go into Probate. Probate makes sure all debts are paid for before the heirs (such as yourself) receives the balance of the Estate. You must contact a lawyer to do this and they will be sure that all debts, mortgages, etc., are paid off and the Probate is finalized. If the mortgage is more than the monies left in your mother's Estate you still have to go through Probate so all bills are paid off, get the total amount your mother owes (hopefully you will get some money) but should her debts be more than what your mother had left in total, then you will have to go to the banking institution after Probate and take a mortgage out on that property. Be sure you have been left in the Will. If your mother has divided the Will between siblings or any other persons then I am afraid you will have to discuss the fact you want to buy the house. EXAMPLE: If the house was bought at $200,000 and your mother has a mortgage left of $60,000, and she owes taxes and other debts then unless she has other stocks/bonds/savings accounts, etc., to pay these bills off, the house will have to be sold to pay off these debts. This is when you could go into your banking insitution and ask to take over the mortgage on the house (providing the other heirs are in agreement) which I am sure they will be. Good luck Marcy
Yes. There are almost no obstacles if you still own and live in the house after.
Of course. Until you pay off the mortgage loan, you have to pay payments on the home.

Without a will, her estate will have to go through probate.
With the permission of the court, certainly. And you can't get out of probate until something is done with the house.
it is quite unlikely that you will be able to get a mortgage lender with that history.

That is the beauty of life insurance~! With a properly named beneficiary there are no taxes and it avoids probate!

Don't do anything. The property left to you does not legally become yours until such time as the deceased's will has completed the probate process.
You can be separated and still live in the same house. No one has to move.The mortgage payment is made by the person whos name is on the mortgage. If it is in both names you are both responsible.
