Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

Thank you for restating your question.

If I understand it correctly, you father owned the house and there is a mortgage on it. You and your brother and sister are the legal heirs. The mortgage company needs a document showing that your siblings are giving up their interests in the house. You want to own the house.

Assuming that all of those are true:

I'm surprised that the mortgage company doesn't require that you administer your father's estate. I he had a will, it would govern who would own the house. If there was no will, the house would go to the legal heirs, which include his wife and any other children he may have had, as well as yourselves.

In order to give up their rights to the house, your siblings [and other heirs, if there are any] would have to sign a deed giving their interests to you.

THIS RESPONSE IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE, SINCE I DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED, AND I DO NOT HAVE A REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT WITH YOU.

* If the answers to your question confirm that you have a valid issue or worthwhile claim, your next step should almost always be to establish a dialog with a lawyer who can provide specific advice to you. Contact a lawyer in your county or township.

* Another reason for contacting a lawyer is that it is often impossible to give a good answer in the Internet Q&A format without having more information. The unique circumstances of your situation and things that you may not have thought to mention in your question may completely change the answer. If you want to be sure that you have a complete answer to your question and an understanding of what that answer means, establish a connection with a lawyer who practices in the area of your concern.
