Home equity loan on live trust property

Posted on: 02nd Jan, 2011 06:11 pm
hi my parents put the family farm in a life trust naming myself and my 4 siblings as equal benifactors. prior to thier death they took out a home equity loan.
both parents are now deceased and i have been making the payment to the lender (i am living in the home as resident relative)
the lender now wants me to take out a new morgage either by having all my siblings and myself listed as barrowers / or that they should transfer the property to me and i should apply for a loan
i am willing to assume this loan why are they having such a fit
we live in mn and the lender is a credut unuion

they were fully aware of the trust status when they made the loan to my parents
Welcome Jeannie,

The lender will want you to get the loan transferred in your name as your parents are deceased now. The lender will want you to be solely responsible for the mortgage. Thus, you should ask your siblings to transfer the property to you so that you can refinance the loan.
