Can I assume someone's mortgage if they have filled bankruptcy?

Rex K. Daines
Answered by attorney Rex K. Daines
Bankruptcy lawyer at OlsenDaines
It is completely up to the mortgage lender. It is very unlikely that a mortgage lender will allow you to assume a mortgage.

Who is responsible for the debt now that my ex-wife was dead but I was listed as the main debtor?

Keith Austin Wellman

You are responsible for any debt you incur from the creditor's perspective. They are not prevented from collecting against one of the co-signers because for a divorce decree. That divorce decree only gives one spouse the right to sue the other if they don't follow the decree. If that ex-spouse dies, their estate essentially takes their place in this regard.

Can I assume someone's mortgage if they have filled bankruptcy?

That will depend on the precise language of the mortgage and mortgage note. Some of them preclude assumption-but in general they can permit an assumption if they specifically agree. So you must check those documents with care. Good Luck.
