Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

Seperated and forclosing on the house

I have been out of the family house for over 1 year and my husband is not making the mortgage payments. I am the co signer of the loan and the home is in the forclosure process. I want to keep the home but I don't want to make a payment while he is still living there. What rights do I have as a co signer and what do I need to do to get him out of the home so I can save it and what little credit I have left.

Re: Seperated and forclosing on the house

As unfortunate as it may sound you are equally responsible for the property, regardless of whether you live there or not! This means your credit score / history is currently being destroyed by the current ongoing action. You are also civilly liable for the debt on the property. You need to immediately retain counsel!

My office also offers flat rate pricing and free consultations, for additional information please visit my firm's website at www.AlleghenyAttorneys.com or by calling my office at 412.731.0865.

Sincerely,

Re: Seperated and forclosing on the house

I suggest you immediately contact an attorney. You must obtain title to the property in your name alone and your husband must relinquish his interest. In addition, you must get your husband out of the property. If your husband refuses, you must get legal counsel involved. Gerald Hershenson Esq. 215-579-9390
