If it's the primary residence, both spouses have equal rights of ownership regardless of whose name is on the deed or mortgage. Second homes or investment properties do not apply to this. The court assumes "tenants in common" ownership for any married couple regarding their primary residence. (there may be an exception in some states if the house was owned by one person before they got married, and now the spouse lives there too - ask a lawyer if that's the case)

In Massachusetts can a lender foreclose on the surviving spouses house if the home loan was made in the deceased's name only?

Generally: If the property was owned solely by the mortgagor at the time the mortgage was granted, the lender can foreclose on the mortgage if the mortgage isn't paid. The mortgage is a lien on the property. If the surviving spouse has inherited the property it is still subject to the mortgage lien. The foreclosure will be done against the mortgagor, however, the surviving spouse will lose the property if it isn't paid for. If the property was owned by both spouses and the surviving spouse didn't sign the mortgage then the lender has a problem. It can only foreclose on the mortgagor's interest in the property and not the interest of the surviving spouse. The situation is further complicated for the lender if the spouses held title as tenants by the entirety. Please advise if that is the case by using the discussion page. If possible, you should consult with an attorney who could review your situation and advise you of your options. You should be able to get the preliminary advice you need in a single visit. You should bring a copy of your deed and any correspondence you have received from the lender.


Why are both spouses required to be on the property deed but not on the refinanced mortgage loan and who would be responsible upon the death of one spouse?

The deed to property and the wording of the deed establishes ownership. If a married couple does not reside in a community property state it is very important that both spouses be on the deed with the correct ownership status noted. In a case of death where only one spouse is listed on the financial agreement but both are named on the deed the probate laws apply. If the surviving spouse wishes to retain the property and he or she is not a co-buyer they will most likely be required to reaffirm the mortgage with the lender if the mortgage was not protected by insurance.

What is the cost to add a spouse to your mortgage?

A spouse is not added to a mortgage; if the spouse already owns an interest in the property through deed or community property, then the spouse is subject to the mortgage, regardless of whether or not he or she signed it. Note, however, that many mortgages contain "due on sale" clauses which require the mortgage to be refinanced if there is a change in ownership of the property. Contact your bank to see if your loan contains such a clause.

Only one spouse on mortgage are both responsible for foreclosure?

No. Both may be on the deed which means that you have rights to the property. However, if there is only one on the mortgage; meaning they are the only one that signed the promissory note, then they are the only ones who will be responsible. So long as you are not on the note to the mortgage, then you have no responsibility for the debt.
