If the mobile home and mortgage are in your mother's name alone then you are not personally responsible for paying the loan. However, your mother's estate is responsible for her debts. If the loan isn't paid the bank will foreclose on the property and is entitled to any other assets if there is a deficiency.

Can your sister continue to reside in a home that was bought for her by our deceased father if he willed it to her and he was the only mortgage holder?

Provided the estate is solvent, she should be able to obtain the title to the home, subject to the remaining mortgage. She can remain in the home, but will have to satisfy the finance company's lien on the home through a new mortgage or paying it off. There may be additional clauses in the will directing that the mortgage be paid off by the estate. The executor of the estate, or their legal counsel, will be able to answer these questions.


What happens to the first mortgage when the second mortgage forecloses?

AnswerThe first mortgage would have the first position on the lien. So if the second mortgage company foreclosed on the property - they would sell the property and the sale proceeds must go to pay off the first mortgage company first. Then, if there is anything left over, that money goes to the second mortgage company.For example, there is a first mortgage of 100,000 and a second mortgage of 40,000. The property is foreclosed and sold for 125,000. The first mortgage gets paid off (100,000) and the second mortgage company gets the remaining 25,000.The property owner still owes the second mortgage company the other 15,000.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Not true. Maybe different laws in different states but here the 2nd mortgage foreclosure sale does not directly effect the 1st mortgage. It remains a lien.


Is there any truth that if a mortgage company forecloses on you they have to pay you because of the Homestead Act?

No. The Homestead Act of 1862 provided a means for people to claim land that was ownerless. When you got a mortgage to buy property, someone else owned it. Foreclosure occurs as a result of failure to pay back money that you borrowed. In some cases, a mortgage company may pay you to move (cash for keys) in order to gain control over the property without long delays, but that is not the Homestead Act.


What happens to the second mortgage when the first mortgage forecloses on the property and will the second mortgage go after the holder or will they show the balance owed as earned income?

Depends on the state. In many states the holder of the second mortgage can come after you for the balance due. If the second is from the same company that holds the first that may not be as likely. It really depends on your state and whether the lending institution has the right to pursue you for the balance between what they eventually sell the house for and what you owed. Check to see if your state is a deficiency state and then talk to an attorney.

If a home is rented and goes into default who will be held responsible for the tenants the owner on deed but not mortgage or the other owner on deed and mortgage or mortgage company that forecloses?
