what if ihad a co-sighner, my dad that was in his late 60's that could not get house insuranse in case he passes away. My dad co-sighn with a long time partner because I was injured and my income was not sufficent to the bank. The mortgage deal went through with out my name on the mortgate but my dad with lawyer made up a paper legal biding saying if he passes away, I get his 50%. Ok, My father pass away and I still injured withou enough money to get a mortgate. What now?
Hi
You aren't on the loan. So, you are not liable to pay the mortgage and your credit score isn't going to be affected in any way. However, failure to make the payments can result in a foreclosure of the property. If you're keen on saving the property, you should discuss this with your lender and see if you can qualify for a modification of the existing loan.

This is kind of confusing, your statement. Are you saying that you and your father was on a loan together and he co-signed for you because your income was not sufficient to get the loan. Now, your father has passed away and his interest in the property, being 50% is now yours but you still don't meet the income requirements to qualify for loan?
Well, if this is case. You have already qualified for the loan with a co-signer. You don't have to re-qualify. So, your income not being sufficient to qualify should not be a problem.
Your father has passed, (I AM SORRY ABOUT THAT), the documents state that his interest is conveyed to you. That means you own the home 100%.
Now, if you can't afford to make the payments, you should consider selling the home. You don't want to home to go into default to have a bad affect on your credit score that would prevent you from getting a new loan in the future.
If you have equity in the home and you sell the home, you would profit something. Then you have money to go towards something that you can afford.
Now, if this is not the case and your dad co-signed for someone else and then his part of ownership went to you. Then, that's a whole nother ball park and it would be great if you rephrased the question.
I hope this helps!
Good luck =)
