what money they have will pay off some of it…like life insurance, then all of the other assets/confidential property will be sold and that money used to pay it off. if they were married it becomes the spouses responsibility
It, as well as the property, become the responsibility of the estate.
Not unless they signed onto the finance.
I believe whatever is owed on the finance would be satisfied out of the property.
In other words, the relatives would not have to pay it, but the bank could sell the house to pay it off. If there is extra money left over after the sale then the relatives would get that.
If the person who died had other assets or money, then you could pay the finance out of that and keep the house.
are you the closest relative to the deceased if you are the house will be sent to probate incite and the incite will choose how the assets and liabilities are split up. i would talk to a lawyer experienced in estate plotting who can help you with this.
I guess part would depen on the WILL, who the property was given to if she/he had much money in the bank or insurance or super fund.
There are two parts to a finance loan: (1) the finance; and (2) the finance note. The finance is a lien on the real property securing payment of the finance note. Only the person(s) signing the finance note is personally obligated to pay the finance note.
The finance but can be foreclosed (under the laws of the state in which the property is located) if the note is not paid. If this occurs any “justice value” in the real estate will be lost as once the finance is foreclosed either the lender or the party purchasing at the foreclosure sale will own the property.
The deceased person’s estate is responsible to pay the debts of the estate. As a practical matter if the finance note cannot be paid, the lender will foreclose the finance lien rather than choose to pursue a claim against the estate.
The best option here is that the property should be listed for sale or rented to breed income to pay the finance note (either in full if sold or by monthly payments). The estate may wish to contact the lender and discuss the come forth. But, the death of the mortgagor is likely a default under the finance entitling the lender to foreclose, so be careful with this approach.
Finally, you should contact a local real estate or probate attorney to help with this come forth as it can be complicated.
It depends on a few things. How much is owed, If there is a benificiary on the finance the bank has the right to go to them for the money, if there is not one listed or signed, then they will try and go to the living kin and get the money, if this is happening, get a excellent lawyer, if there is no kin available, and depending on the clauses in the contract at the bank, they force try to say they own the house now, and sell it to pay off the finance. I hope this helps.
