I am a mortgage broker and the answer to this question lies in the section of the mortgage document entitled: Joint and Several Liability. No you are not responsible for the note. The promissary note is the promise to pay. The mortgage clause will say that any Any borrower who co-signs the mortgage (security instrument) but does not execute the Note is co-signing only to mortgage, grant adn convey his/her interest in the property and is not personally obligated to pay the sums secured by the mortgage... this goes for the signer of the note extending or modifying the mortgage by perhaps getting a home equity line. You are not obligated financially. Are you on the title? That is the question. If you are on the title you own the home without any financial responsibility for the home and both of you on the Title must agree to sell the home, and one without the other cannot convey their interest in the property.

If you have a first mortgage and a home equity mortgage, the home equity mortgage is a second mortgage.

Can your in-laws apply for the mortgage using their credit score even though your husband and you would be making the payments and how soon after that can you switch it into your names?

If your in-laws apply for the mortage, the mortgage is in their name and they're responsible for paying the bill. If you pay them in order to make the mortgage payment, you are building their equity, not yours. The only way you can switch the mortgage to your name is for you to buy the house from your in-laws.

Can you use a home equity loan to pay off your existing mortgage?

Equity is the value of your home less the amount owed on the mortgage. A home equity loan is a loan secured by the equity in your home. Your lender will use an assessment to decide your home's value and the amount of equity available to abstract. If the available equity exceeds your mortgage balance, you can use an equity loan to pay off your mortgage. If your mortgage exceeds the available equity you cannot use the equity to pay off your existing mortgage.
