Re: Real Estate Loan Inheritance
A loan cannot be inherited. Your father can sign the MH title over to you, and you can continue to pay the mortgage. The mortgage company does not care who pays the bill so long as there is no sale. You can contact the mortgage company and see if they will transfer the mortgage to you, but don't get you hopes up. Usually they won't.
