No, the joint tenancy only refers to the deed. You would have to rearrange the loan, perhaps by refinancing it. This is something you both should discuss. One possibility is for you each to buy term insurance in the amount of the outstanding mortgage so that the Survivor could pay it off.

Can you get a joint mortgage with your grandparent and what happens if she dies can i keep the house and mortgage?

The type of deed will determine what happens to the property after her death. If there is a right of survivorship, you will get the house. The mortgage company determines whether you keep the mortgage or have to refinance.


What happens if you have a joint account and one of the parties dies?

Full ownership of a joint account passes to the surviving joint owner unless the joint account was set up for purposes of convenience only and the account is otherwise devised in a will.


If one spouse makes a personal guarantee can creditors seize or force the sale of real estate or investment assets that are held as Joint Tenants With Rights of Survivorship?

Joint tenants own 100% of the total each. If one puts a lean on their part then its only on 50%. If that person dies the other owns the whole 100 % without question. You cannot desolve a joint tenacy unless you sell your half or joint tenent dies. If the leans of the other joint partner is against a joint property and he dies then his half automatically goes to his joint partner and the person putting debt on his 50% is redundant because it is someone else's 100% after death. This person might have to sue the other person for his lean on the joint ownership but he might not win.

What happens when brother and sister buy a house and brother dies without leaving a will or survivorship deed Does his son have any claim to house or does sister own all This is in Ohio?

The way the property is titled determines who takes ownership. If the property is titled as Joint Tenants or Joint Tenants With Right of Survivorship, the surviving person(s) named on the deed receive the entire property and it is not subject to probate distribution. If the property is titled as Tenants-In-Common, it is subject to probate distribution as required under the laws of the state in which the property is located.


In Pennsylvania if a house is deeded to both divorced parents and one dies without a will and two children are involved and only one is legal age what happens to the house?

Since the parents are divorced, the house is owned as Joint Tenants (not Tenants in the Entirity), so as Joint Tenants, the surviving parent would own half the house with the two children owning the other half. If the house is owned as Tenants in Common, which isn't as likely, then when one person dies, the other person gets the entire house.
