Taking Over Someone’s Mortgage Payments? We Specialize In Taking Over Mortgage Payments
People often come to us asking if they can “take over a mortgage loan” or “remove someone from the mortgage loan.” However, most people who request this, want to alter the underlying mortgage loan documents and change the ownership status of the mortgage loan.
To do this, the mortgage loan has to be an assumable mortgage and you have to be approved for a mortgage assumption by the lender who holds the loan. You have to submit a mortgage assumption application to the mortgage lender and the lender has to review your application and approve it – the assumption process is very similar to the process required to apply for your own mortgage.
Is taking over someone’s mortgage payments an option without having to go through the mortgage assumption process with the lender?
Yes, you can take over someone’s mortgage payments without having to go through the assumption process. You don’t need to disclose this to the lender either. As long as the mortgage payments are being made and the property title hasn’t changed, the lender is happy.
It is recommended that you seek the counsel of a mortgage professional or a legal adviser before you take over someone’s mortgage payments as there are a number of steps that you can take to help someone with their mortgage in a way that protects both of your interests in the property.

Can I just take over the mortgage title if I am taking over someone’s mortgage payments?
Not generally. The reason is that a lender can’t simply approve a home loan that does not have property or security attached to it. You also need to take into consideration that some lenders require that all persons who are on the mortgage title to also be registered on the property title as well.
The only exception to this rule is if the loan is an “assumable” mortgage by the lender’s definition and you will have to go through the mortgage assumption process and be approved by the lender as discussed earlier in this article.

Can I be added to the mortgage title?
Yes, however, this step is not mandatory if you are taking over someone’s mortgage payments.
