What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
I have a friend who lived with his grandmother who recently died. She put his name on a quick claim dead but not on the mortgage. His intention was to live in the house and he was paying the mortgage because they fixed the house up and has quite a bit of equity in the house and wanted to eventually sell it. He has been getting the run around from them saying that they won't put his name on the mortgage because they don't accept a quick-claim dead but expect him to pay it and he stopped paying it when they told him they where going to foreclose on the house anyways since he isn't on the mortgage. They are now threatening to sue him for the full amount of the mortgage and foreclose on the house. From what I understand, being on the dead does not make you responsible for the mortgage. I have advised him to see a lawyer but he has no money and is dealing with many other financial burdens due to this death. There is no will. Any advice would be appreciated.
