Will an heir be liable for money owed to house that is currently in reverse mortgage?

Brian Chew
Answered by attorney Brian Chew
Estate Planning lawyer at OC Wills and Trust Attorneys
Yes, if the property is still in the estate when your mom passes and there is no equity in all likelihood you will just sign it over to the mortgage company with no further liability to the estate. However, her estate could still be subject to the high costs and delays of probate even though the property is worthless and your Mom has a valid will. You may want to consider setting up a living trust for your mom to avoid probate.

I have just found a last will and testament that says I am the executrix of my parent estate is this all I need for a lawyer?

Answered by attorney Douglas A Tull (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Douglas A. Tull, P.C. Attorney at Law
Probably not, usually the lawyer needs at least to have the death certificate as well as the original Will. He or she may also need you to provide information about interested parties and about assets that pass through probate of the parent who has died.

What can I do if my girlfriend wants me to put her name on the property deed?

Answered by attorney Michael Burton McFarland (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Michael B. McFarland, PA
If she is putting money into the project, you could give her a note for the value of her input, possibly secured by a deed of trust, due on sale of the property. That way, you are still the owner, but she has security for her investment.
