Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Indiana

You have no legal liability for payment of the mortgage, unless you've signed on to it. However, if the loan goes into default, the mortgage company could foreclose on the property. It could then be sold so the bank can get its money back. If there is any money left after the sale, the excess would then go in equal shares to you, your brothers and your mother's husband. Realize that such sales are often very "cheap" sales, so your equity could be seriously diminished by a foreclosure. Also, the costs of the foreclosure action, including attorney fees, would be paid by the sale of the home, which, in essence, means you are paying, from your share of the home, for the foreclosure action. (There are other remedies and possibilities, but this is not the place to discuss them,)
