I'm sorry to say even though you're making the payments, you will still have to refinance the home to put it in your name.
hi peachez,
i agree with ted. you will have to refinance the mortgage in order to transfer it in your name. you can check out the option of novation, with your lender, which is also one of the ways to transfer mortgage from one person to another. however, it is a fact that lenders prefer refinance over novation.
thanks
