Possible forclosure on property in Florida. Money is also owed to Condo Assoc. Can the condo assoc come after my home in NJ?

Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
A life estate will not protect the house.  A Trust could possibly protect the house, and maybe you were thinking of a living trust.  The condo association will place a lien against the condo.  When the foreclosure is complete, the mortgage company will have first priority and the condo association will only get paid after the mortgage company.

RE: NJ Law when heir inherits a home with a 2nd mortgage.

Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
The answers to this question depend on the mortgage, and the terms of the will.  The will may stipulate that the heirs take the property subject to the mortgage.  If that's the case, the heirs can take over the mortgage payments, but technically, the heirs should have the mortgage redone in their name.  Changing the title to the property could cause an acceleration of the mortgage and require immediate payment.  A bigger question becomes, what happened to the proceeds of the second mortgage?  Did the decedent take that in a lump payment and it went to other heirs?   Can the first and second mortgages be combined and refinanced?  Rates are good now and it might be worth your while to qualify and re-do the whole thing.
