Best Answer

The property cannot be conveyed without the permission of the mortgage holder, who will most likely insist that the mortgage be paid off first. In other words, this is kind of a non-question, since it describes a situation that can't legally happen.

If the mortgage holder dies, the house becomes part of the estate, and the heirs would have to work it out with the mortgage company.

Answer

If the owner executes a deed the property would transfer subject to the mortgage. Transferring the property cannot defeat the mortgagees interest in the property. Also, mortgages contain a due on transfer clause. That means if the property is transferred the lender will require payment in full of the mortgage.

What happens during the process of a mortgage closing?

The mortgage closing is the last step in purchasing a home. It is the point that one goes from house buyer to home owner. The mortgage closing is when your mortgage becomes official and the seller receives their money. Once the mortgage closing has been completed, you will then receive the keys to your new home.


What happens when the homeowner dies and has PMI insurance before the mortgage is paid in full?

PMI has absolutely nothing to do with the death of a home owner. There is no benefit to the PMI in this situation. A Mortgage Life Insurance policy would be of great benefit as it would pay off the mortgage on the house at the death of the homeowner.


How does deed in lieu work?

The deed in lieu is pretty straightforward. In short, it means that the mortgage creditor will accept the deed of the house in lieu of payment when the debt owner is no longer able to pay upon the debt. When this happens, the home owner surrenders the property and moves out saving the mortgage creditor the lengthy time and legal trouble of taking an legal action upon the home owner to remove the home owner from the premises, enabling the creditor to recover the debt owed. Usually this is to the benefit of the home owner in situations where the housing market is depressed, there are many foreclosures on the market preventing the usual sale of the home, and the amount of equity in the house is not worth keeping the house, and/or selling the house under normal market circumstances. If you have a second mortgage, you should also consider that that debt is yours because the mortgage creditor is only concerned about the first mortgage, and not any subsequent mortgages taken against the home.


Do you have to pay mortgage if your house is for sale?

Yes, you are responsible for your mortgage payment until the day of closing the sale to a new owner of the house. Any remaining balance will be paid through the proceeds at closing.


Do you have ownership rights to the house if you are listed on the deed but not on the mortgage?

Yes, but if your name was added to a deed after the owner granted the mortgage your interest is subject to the mortgage. If the mortgage isn't paid the lender will take possession by foreclosure and your interest will be wiped out.If the mortgage is paid and the house is sold you will receive half of the proceeds at the time of sale.

Your name is on the mortgage not on the deed. How do you get it off the mortgage?

It depends on why your name isn't on the deed. If it was a mistake, you need a lawyer to figure out the best way to get your name put onto a corrective deed. If your name is not on the deed because you obtained the property as a matter of law, then you may need to file a new deed to show you are the rightful owner, along with the papers that made you the rightful owner. Be sure to ask the lender what they were thinking when they accepted your promissory note and mortgage for a house that is not deeded to you.
