Hi happynonchatter ,
Welcome to the forum.
Is it that the new owner has only signed the agreement but has not compensated you as it is stated in the agreement? Is he denying now to compensate you? If so then you should consult with an attorney and file a lawsuit against this person.
Best of luck,
Larry

hi happynonchatter,
it's good that you took some action and made the person compensate for all your belongings. but the fact remains that the new owner now has the property but the loan is still in your mom's name. so she is still responsible for the payments.
now what has been the lender doing during the sale? does he know about it at all? i suppose if he comes to know, he might take some steps or may call the loan due. however, this will depend more upon what is stated on the loan doc regarding transfer of property during the loan term.
the best thing is, to ask the new owner to refinance the loan in his name. if he doesn't agree to it, you will have to consult a mortgage attorney for any legal action to be taken on your part. otherwise, if your mom cannot pay and he too is not bothered, it is sure to affect your mom's credit.
thanks
