If you are paying the mortgage, your husband didn't pay for the house. The bank owns the house and you and your husband have an equal share in the equity.
The mortgage should be paid by the remaining estate. If there is not enough cash left to pay off the mortgage, the house can be sold and the mortgage paid at closing, or if the mortgage is assumable, the son may take on the mortgage as his own debt and keep the house.
The mortgage insurance you are referring to is most likely the standard mortgage insurance that is on a loan above 80% of the value of the house. This MI covers the lender in case of the borrower defaulting on the loan. It does nothing to help the borrower. If you are on the deed then you still own the house if your husband dies but if you cannot either refinance the mortgage or continue to pay the monthly payments then the lender will ultimately foreclose on the house and repossess it. What you need is a life insurance policy that will pay off the balance on the mortgage in case of the death of the mortgage holder.
If the mortgage is in your name it would not be affected by the death of your spouse. Mortgage life insurance is coverage that is taken out so that your house would be paid for in the event of your death.
No. When you pay the mortgage it upgrades your house and your house only! It wouldn't be fair if you paid for everyone elses house aswell!
The estate pays the cost to maintain the estate. The house may have to be sold if the mortgage cannot be paid. If someone wants the house, they may wish to pay the mortgage.
Calculating your house mortgage can be a pain. Here are some easy steps: know your house's cost, and subtract the percentage you paid, then divide that by the lenght of your mortgage loan (amount of years you have to pay), last multiply that by your interest rate.
When you sell your home all liens against the property have to be paid so you will have to pay off the second mortgage at the closing.
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.
basically a motgage is the "pay" for your house. you pay the mortgage. its just a word that stands for what you pay to own your house.
yes
You cannot "walk away" if you also signed the note and mortgage. In that case you must pay even if your husband doesn't. If the mortgage isn't paid, the property will be taken by foreclosure and your credit will be ruined. You should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options.
Yes, the mortgage company can do that. She co-signed for the loan and is responsible for it if you don't pay. She can lose her house.
