My husband's ex passed away a week ago. She received the house she was living in at the divorce . But because she wasn't working , she didn't /couldn't refinance the mortgage and my husband stayed on the mortgage.
She started to default on it about 3 or 4 years ago, not paying , then paying , then not paying, which ruined my husbands credit . Nothing to do unless he wanted to pay her mortgage, but he wasn't going to get the house if he did.
Now that she sadly passed away, is there anything he should expect ? There is an adult daughter and I assume she will inherit the house . Can anyone come after my husband because he is on the mortgage? Can he be forced to pay anything? Should we expect that he will ask to sign any papers for the daughter to inherit the house ?
Mainly trying to figure out if we need to worry about anything with that mortgage now.
Correction : Should we expect that he will be asked to sign any papers for the daughter to inherit the house ?
