Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Indiana
My friend's husband died 1.5 years ago. She was not on the mortgage, but has been paying the mortgage so that she and her 4 children would have somewhere to stay. She has recently purchased her own house and is moving. No estate was setup because the only thing he owned was an old boat (value approx. $100). Since she has stopped making payments on the original mortgage (in which she is not on), the mortgage company is now wanting county certified information about estate executors and survivorship. Is there anything my friend MUST do to keep out of trouble? She wants nothing to do with the old house.

Your friend must see a local attorney to determine whether there should be an estate or what to do with the house. You do not indicate whether she is the owner of the house, whterhe she was on the deed and not on the mortgage. This is critical. If there was no will, she and the kids may own the house and she will need to do something. I
