What is the name of your state? Florida
My mother died leaving my stepfather a lifetime estate. It is my understanding that my sister and I own the house but he can live there until he dies. He filed reorgainization bankruptcy shortly after our mother's death. There is a mortgage on the house. We are not on good terms with him and do not speak to him. There has been structural damage to the house due to neglect which has not been repaired because he has no money. We recently found out that he has terminal cancer. We are worried that he will not make the mortgage payment. What are our rights regarding the damage to the house and at what point will we be notified if he defaults on the mortgage? Can our credit be affected since the house is legally ours? Our name is not on the mortgage. We would also like to obtain some of our mother's possesions. Is this possible?
