The mortgage must be paid or the lender will take possession of the property by foreclosure. If you want to keep the property then you must make arrangements to pay the mortgage. Some mortgages allow assumption by a family member after the death of the original mortgagor.

In the case of real property the parent's estate must be probated in order for title to the property to pass to the heirs legally. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate law in your area.

Who owns the home with a reverse mortgage?

With a reverse mortgage, the seniors (the original home owners) still owns the house. They retain full ownership, and no one can kick them out. The debt, aka the loan, is paid off - but only once the homeowners move out of the house, or if both of them die.

What happens if you were unmarried and got a home loan and then you marry?

Nothing, so long as you do not get divorced or die, and then it varies by situation and state. If you refinance after you are married, your spouse may be a borrower with you or may "join in" on the mortgage. Again that depends on certain conditions of the refinance such as whether or not you are refinancing your homestead property. Finally when you sell, depending on the same factors, you husband or wife may have a role to play in that sale.


Why should one get mortgage insurance protection?

Mortgage insurance protection comes in handy if you happen to lose your job or become disabled. If you die the insurance will pay off your mortgage as well. Basically it depends on how healthy you are and if you want the security of knowing your house will be taken care of if illness falls upon you. Mortgage insurance protection is not necessary.

What happens when you die and leave a mortgaged house to someone?

They now have a house with a mortgage on it. If they cannot, or do not wish to, pay the mortgage, they will have to sell the house, pay off the mortgage, and keep the remainder of the money. The mortgage holder may require you to get a new mortgage on the property, rather than assume the existing loan. You are essentially leaving them what ever value you own of the house.
