Re: mortgage co-signer
If you co-signed the note and mortgage you are obligated to pay. You are entitled to the return of your payments or an equitale interest in the property when it is sold.
I would suggest you contact a lawyer ASAP and give him full details so he can assist you in resolving the matter sooner rather than later.
