my husband passed away 3 years ago. I have been making the mortage payment which is still in his name. The mortage company sent to my address an overpayment of $381.59, but the problem is the check is made out to my late husband. I called the mortage company and they can not change the name to mine. I am on the lein but the mortage is in his name. I asked them if they could apply the 381.59 to the principal since I can not cash this check, they said no. What is the solution to get the mortage in my name? And how about the deed or lein how do I change that to just my name?
llamb, was your husband's estate probated? was there a will? i'd suggest at this time that you contact an attorney who is well-versed in this type of situation so as to determine your options.
