Legal Question in Real Estate Law in North Carolina
My mother-in-law is in a senior assistance living home and she put her daughter's name on her deed
to her home. The daughter move into the home and is now saying she can't afford to make the
mortgage payment. Stated she will move out when she finds someplace else to go. She has
already miss one month payment. What should my husband and his other sibling do to get possession of the home from sister who is in it to keep it from going into foreclosure. One of the other brothers want to take over the property. Mother-in-law is still in her right mine.
1 Answer from Attorneys
If your mother-in-law deeded the property to her daughter, it belongs to the daughter so the answer would be nothing except to negotiate with the daughter to buy the property.
If your mother-in-law is on the deed as well, then they are joint owners but the mortgage still needs to be paid. Again negotiating something with the daughter would be the most practical option or seek the advice of an attorney in the area.
