Can I Transfer My Mortgage To A Family Member ?

Question: I would like to transfer the mortgage to my daughter. Is that possible. My first husband, her father, passed away a while ago.

Answer: That will be up to your currentlender. Most of the time, they will not allow a transfer. Once in a great while, they will allow the current mortgage to be assumed, but the person assuming the loan must re-qualify. My guess would be that they will want your daughter to get a new mortgage alltogether. More money in it for the bank.
