Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York
I own my home in full......no mortgage. I was just served with foreclosure summons and complaint claiming that the previous owner had an outstanding HELOC. The previous owner is deceased. The papers indicate that I must pay off the previous HELOC or loose the house. I never signed anything regarding this line of credit or beneftited in any way from it. I do NOT have title insurance, but I do have a deed to the property. This is my primary residence. HELP!!!!

You need to get help immediately. I might be able to put you in touch with a non-profit housing counselor. However, you will likely need to put in an answer yourself or have an attorney do so for you.

Agreed. There are a lot of questions that need to be answered, but would need some additional facts. How were you served, when were you served. When did you take title, and do you have a current lender? Who is the lender with the HELOC.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
