I forgot to mention that he did a quick claim deed but he still remain on the deed.
Hi keilamena,
Since your father-in-law is on the mortgage note, he is responsible for the loan. Through the quitclaim deed he transferred only the title to the property. It did not transfer the loan liability. Thus, even though you were added to the title through the deed, you will not be held responsible for the loan and your credit will not be affected. But since you were quitclaimed the property, your names will apprear on the foreclosure notice.

jenkin is correct.
you should not be held responsible for the debt unless you were added to the note through a refinance.
my advise to you, is to contact the lender and see what information you can find out first.
then contact your father in laws attorney who prepared the quit claim.

Thank you Jekins and Elnora
for the advice. Will the bank worked out with me to do a loan modification or to do something to save the property? since my father in law passed away. or is better to let this property go, and lose it since the property has lose its value. Thank you in advance

you will have to call them and get qualified for a loan.
my husband purchase a home, my name is on the deed not the loan, he is in the process of a short sale, I purchase a home in my name only, will my husband short sale affect my loan or credit
