ok thanks again0 -
I'd say speak to the mortgage company. My own experience of someone dying with an outstanding mortgage and no life insurance was that the mortgage company firstly asked how the (existing) mortgage would be settled. When they learned that another mortgage would be required to pay off the existing mortgage, they were very helpful and waived early redemption fees so long as the new mortgage was with themselves. They also offered to suspend payments for up to 6 months during the probate process, although that wasn't taken up due to the interest it would rack up.They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth. -- Plato0

So you do have a solicitor involved!
In a previous post you claim to be the executor and settled the estate.
Have you talked to them(solicitor) about the house?0 -

There is stlll a mortgage in your fathers name.
The house has not been transfered to the new owners.
Have you gone through probate yet?
I wonder what else you may have missed.pict_saver wrote: »Your another one that asks silly questions and gives no advice!
But you still have a mortgage to pay from the estate
as excutor how do you plan to do this?
Problem is you don't give any much info on the estate except there is a mortgage and a house.
Did the will detail how the mortgage should be paid from the rest of the estate?
If not paid from the estate then there is a potential problem.0 -

I understand that the current payments are being made, but as I understand it the mortgage needs repaying in FULL as part of settleing the estate and getting through probate so you can inherit the house?
How are you going to do that?0 -

But then again, wouldn't all insurance (snake-oil) salesmen say the same thing?;)In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:0 -
