She Inherited a House With a Mortgage Problem. Here's How We Helped

When you inherit a house after a parent passes away, you might think the hardest part is deciding what to do with the property.

Maybe you plan to keep it. You could fix it up and sell it. Or maybe you just want to sell it and move on.

But sometimes, the property comes with problems you never expected.

That was the situation for a homeowner we worked with in Winchester, Virginia. After her father passed away, she inherited his vacant home and planned to renovate it before selling.

Then the mortgage became an issue.

The lender stopped accepting payments because the loan was still in her father's name. With the property heading toward pre-foreclosure, she had to figure out how to move forward while also dealing with liens, title questions, and the paperwork needed to sell the house.

She wasn't sure where to start.
