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.

I have POA for aunt who is 90. Her assets were in her name until a year ago. POA gives me right to gift.

Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
If you give gifts, those gifts will cause a Medicaid penalty.  You can't give gifts as part of the spend down even though the POA probably says you can give gifts.
