How to get your name as a co signor off of a mortgage?
My daughter called and just told me that her husband signed as a co-signor on his sisters/fiance house. This was about a year ago and he just told her about it.
My step-son unfortunately has become the “banker”/helper” in his family in the past, so in one way I am not surprised. The sister and fiance lived with them for almost 6 months since they did not have a place to stay, and this was about a month after my daughter married him. This was after they had lived with her mother and I think her father and did not get along. So my daughter and new husband were their last choice.
Anyway the story goes as she was told, the mortgage is in the fiances name plus my step son; the sister is not listed on the mortgage which I think is incredible. She has 3 kids I believe and not sure if all are fiances, but know for certain the last baby is.
The reason my step son told my daughter for co-signing was that the fiance had high credit rating, but did not qualify for the house unless had a co-signor, so he agreed. Also there was some dispute as to the amount of the mortgage payment after papers signed that it was higher than expected, but now the mortgage payment has dropped $200 less, unknown reason.
This jerk (fiance) talks to someone or contacts someone who gives him this great advice to not pay the mortgage until this was cleared or until they could refinance, so this jerk apparently did this and now step-sons credit has gone down and there maybe couple of thousand owed back on the mortgage. My daughter is not even sure her husband still has the documents he signed, believe it or not, so unable to see what recourse he might have as a co-signor on this mortgage.
Now there is a concern that sister and fiance are not getting along and may break up. This guy was not employed when he lived with my daughter, subsequently got a job and now is unemployed and only the sister is working, so unlikely she is making a lot, so can see that she may have trouble paying the mortgage and bills also.
In one case i can understand helping his sister since family plus she had kids and possibly with the house, would be out of their house, but this jerk who was going to marry his sister had shown that he was not reliable and they are afraid he will not move out if they split and if that happens, then sister/kids most likely move back in with my daughter and he will be on the hook for this mortgage.
I apologize for the long question, but i am just livid thinking about all the consequences that may follow. Other than getting a lawyer, can he work out something with the mortgage company or other suggestions?
