Re: single family mortgage

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

You should be able to use the monies to paydown the mortgage but only if you pay if off in full. The lender does not want to participate in something that will leave them losing $15,000.00. If you cannot resolve this on your own, retain an attorney who can negotiate with the lender on your behalf.
