Home at Risk as Father Refuses to Pay the Mortgage

My father stopped paying the mortgage to block any claim my mother might have. Although we can cover the payments, he plans for the bank to foreclose our home in 2 months.

I’m really sorry you’re in such a tough situation. Have you considered reaching out to a family mediator or legal counsel? I’m curious—has anyone else managed a similar family dispute successfully?

This situation is undoubtedly stressful and demands careful legal insight. In a somewhat similar scenario I encountered, consulting a property law expert provided clarity and opened up several negotiation options with the mortgage provider. In addition to verifying your current rights and obligations, a legal professional could assist in mitigating any additional risks to your home. It might also be worth discussing the issue with your bank directly, as they sometimes have programs to support borrowers facing intra-family challenges. Legal advice is essential to navigate these complex circumstances.
