Hello, 10 years ago my mother was dying of cancer. She wanted to sell my brother her house for what was owed on it. She transfered the deed in to his name at the county. He was unable to get a mortgage in his name due to lack of credit. He therefore just continued paying her mortgage for the past 9.5 years since she died. Last week he had a water pipe burst and flood the house. The insurance company issued a check out to him and my mothers mortgage company. The mortgage company is refusing to sign off on the check since the mortgage is not in his name even though they have record that he has been paying it all these years and the insurance and deed are in his name. Since they are being such jerks we wanted to know what if any obligation does he have to pay on the remainder of the mortgage since the deed is already in his name? Can they foreclose on the house even though the debt is my mother's but the deed is only in my brothers name? Thanks!
