Reverse Mortgage Foreclosure Guidance

Summary

If a reverse mortgage lender is suing your sister-in-law after your mothers death, it could be due to her being a co-signer, a party of interest, or a mistake. Since your sister-in-law is neither a co-borrower nor an heir, it is likely an error. Consult a local estate attorney to clarify the situation and take appropriate action.

Hello Lisa, how can I assist you with your legal issue today?
My mother passed away and had a reverse mortgage in the mortgage company is putting the house in foreclosure my brother and I are executors but I don't understand why they keep wanting to sue my sister-in-law how is that legal or what is their reason
Hello Lisa, I'm sorry for your loss. I need to know your location to provide accurate information. Also, is your sister-in-law a co-borrower or a heir to the property? This information will help me guide you better.
No she's not my brother and I are the executors
Based on your location, there could be several reasons why your sister-in-law is being sued:
- She was a co-signer on the reverse mortgage.
- She is a party of interest in the property.
- A mistake or misunderstanding by the mortgage company.
Please consult with a local attorney for advice specific to your situation.
Yeah it must be a mistake because my mother and father had no will the house has a reverse mortgage and that's the company that suing her but it doesn't or hasn't tried to sue me or my brother who are the executors
Hi Lisa, I'm sorry for the confusion. If your sister-in-law is not a co-borrower or heir, it might be a mistake. However, I strongly recommend you to consult an estate attorney in your local area to confirm this and take necessary steps.
