My mother had an FHA loan for a house. She paid it off some years ago. She recently passed away. Going through her papers I found a letter from rural development centralized servicing center about the balance on the recapture receivable account. It said she may continue to defer payment until she transfers the title or vacates the property. Now that she's dead do we, her children, have to pay that recapture? Or only if we sell the house? I really need an answer quick on this if anybody has any info it would be greatly appreciated.
Hi ibpsycho,
As far as I can understand the situation, your mother would have been responsible for the recapture only if she would have transferred the property to her heirs. In this case, she is deceased and you all are receiving the property as a part of heirship. I don't think you would be responsible for recapture. However, to be on the safer side, I would suggest you to contact an attorney and take his opinion in this regard.
Thanks.
