No just return the moneies
The estate of the deceased.
Even if your name is not on the loan you have to pay for it if: You are next of kin (which you are if you are married) or You are in the Will of the deceased.
It goes into the deceased's estate.
If your deceased father had a home equity loan are the heirs now responsible for paying it off IF THEY SELL THE HOME?
If you are paying the mortgage, your husband didn't pay for the house. The bank owns the house and you and your husband have an equal share in the equity.
Generally, Home Equity up to $150,000 is exempt from a bankruptcy if the property is HOME STEADED.
If there is no equity in the car (it is worth as much or less than the payoff price), and the payments are current, no. If there is equity, since your daughter is not entitled to your exemption, someone will have to pay half of the equity to the trustee.
The loan will come due in full immediately if it is not a joint loan. If there is another person at the home, say a wife of a deceased husband who had the line in his name alone, they will have to be approved for a loan of their own. You cannot have a loan on property that was approved with another persons income/credit score.
If it is income, in the form of forgiven loan or as a payment, then yes. If it is a gift, then no.
No he cannot claim equity on the house. But the daughter can claim it according to laws in India. Some laws are really ridiculous.
If you are on the title, he will have to get your signature. The fact that he got a home equity with out you signing ( assuming you did not sign ) tells me you are not on title. You would have had to sign for that also. You have to sign to every transaction if you are on title / deed to the house.
If you mean that you want to know of the mortgage was paid off you can check the property in the land records for any outstanding debt. Those records are public.
