If you have lived in your home for three years now without reaffirming your mortgage does your lender have any recourse if you walk away from this home?
Generally, no. If the debt was not reaffirmed, then the lender usually can only seek their judgment against the real estate (called an "in rem" judgment) by selling it, but if it does not sell for enough to pay the mortgage, they cannot come after you (with an "in personam" judgment) since the debt was not reaffirmed. However, if you dismantle the house, or trash the house, or something like that, then I would not be so confident there would not potentially be repercussions.

Speak to a lawyer for specific advice. If you have any questions, please refer to a lawyer in your jurisdiction. Thanks!

If the homeowner has passed away, the heirs have 6 months to refinance the home, sell it, or decide to turn over the home to the lender.
