Q. I am a co-borrower on a mortgage in Georgia but not on the deed. What liability will I have if the house is foreclosed?

March 6, 2023

A: The foreclosure process in Georgia is relatively quick and straightforward. The primary steps are a notice of foreclosure is sent to borrowers/owners at least 30 days before the scheduled foreclosure sale, the notice of sale is published for the 4 weeks immediately preceding the sale, and finally the public sale occurs on the courthouse steps of the county where the property is located. Oftentimes, lenders do not seek to collect a deficiency (the difference between the amount due and the value of the home), but if they do, there are very specific procedures they must follow. I recommend you speak with an attorney about the specifics of your case to get personalized advice.

Q. my gps jointly owned prop; gd died in 90s; gm died 2021; 2 heirs together. gd extra 2 heirs - r they included as heirs?

A: The answer is dependent upon how your grandparents held joint title - as tenants in common or as joint tenants with rights of survivorship. If tenants in common, your grandfather's heirs would inherit his 1/2 interest in the property. If the property was held with rights of survivorship, your grandmother became the sole owner of the property upon your grandfather's death, so upon her death, only her heirs would inherit.
