If the mortgagee neglects to record the mortgage then it will not become a lien on the real estate. However, you are still obligated to repay the loan.
The house won't be affected at all UNLESS... The person filing BK is filing it on the house as well whether it be a 13 (repayment) or a chap 7
File a claim against the decedent's estate. If the mortgage was recorded in the land records it must be paid before the property can be sold.
You didn't say if the person who left the house was a parent or a friend. If it's parents you must provide a copy of the death certificate to the mortgage holder. Usually, the mortgage holder would have no problem with you continuing on with the payments. Depending on where you stand in the Will you may have to take a loan out to either pay the full mortgage the mortgage holder is holding, and then make your mortgage payments to your own banking institution. It's best to go straight to the mortgage holder and ask these questions so there are no mistakes made. Good luck Marcy
NO Home Owners insue covers the Home. You might look to Mortgage Insurance for paying a mortgage.

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.
A normal mortgage is borrowing money to buy a house. A construction mortgage is when you own a house and borrow money against the house for repairs or renovations.
Check the deed at the court house. There will be a lien against the property if their is a mortgage.
Yes. But they have to reach an agreement with the first mortgage holder, for example by buying them, out so to speak. It can be complicated to say the least but it can be done.
Most notes and mortgage contacts give the lender many rights to inspect if they feel the house is not being taken care of and effecting their collateral position. Always remember, until that mortgage is paid, they own the house, not you.
