My mother passed in December 14, 2014 she put the deed under my name but the mortgage was not notified. I've been paying on time but I'm not sure if I have to be paying it since she passed.. and when I call and make the payment I give her information ...
OR did mom die intestate?
It's good that you have paid, as would have gone to foreclosure by now. But if you are not heir, you need to do stuff to be reinburse for all the payments made on anything on the house.
Or on the other side of the coin, that an heir believes when they inherit a house, that it comes free and clear?
1. In whose name was any tax benefit taken on the interest part of the mortgage payments taken while your mom was alive?
2. With the mortgage payments set up in agreement with her, can you claim such tax benefits now that she is due without the mortgage as well as the deed having your name on it?
