My mother and I shared a home for 35 years. In 1990 I paid off the mortgage what are my rights as to the home?
senora511 asked:
She died instestate. I have 7 siblings.What are my rights to the home. This is the state of Maryland. The law says that it is to be equally divided. She also had a reverse mortgage of $85000.00 as of June 05. I have put thousands of dollars into this home,because at that time she had no income until 1990. I paid all of the bills and made repairs to the home. What can I do to keep the home? I do not know if we have joint tenancy. The deed of trust that was sent to me when the house was originally paid off has my name firts and then hers. NOTHING was changed in the state of Maryland files as far as I could see. I need help. The Reverse Mortgage people will NOT talk to me even tho I sent in the forms and was approved by the bank in Nov 05 to pay off the loan. They as of this date will not talk to me.My mother died October 05.

that is to say your mother was the real owner of this house before she died, so before u made any payments according to you since u said u had 7 siblings, why dont you let them be aware of it and try to documents all you are paying out on this house. you must have at least one witness. but to me she is your mum and is your siblings same parent. if yes since you paid the morgage up u shld owns that house but if is another issue dat is in your mother will concerning d house you shld decide to sell up the house den u can take all your investments in the house before u share d remaining money left.

After reading your question,completely it became clear to me(Legalwriter) that your problem lies in the fact that the homestead is in dual names.I’m almost possitive it dosen’t who’s name is first on the document. I’m sorry.
