Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania
Here is my question... I live in pennsylvania and I am inquiring for a friend. She has the deed to the house in her name and her name only and she also signed a non-obligatory note for the mortgage. Her ex-husband is on the mortgage but not the deed. He has not been keeping up with the payments. The house is not yet in foreclosure but before it gets that far she wants to know what her legal responsibilities are and what her options are. Thank you.

She needs to consult a lawyer. Any lawyer needs all of the facts and copies of all of the documents involved, and needs to have a client/attorney relationship only with her, not with her friends.
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.
