What is the name of your state? Florida. My fiance' and I lived together for the past 2 1/2 years in a house purchased in his name, because I had a house in my name. Once my house sold, our intention was to add my name to our house, but we never got the chance. He passed away quite suddenly last month. I paid 1/2 of all bills, including the mortgage from the first day. His brother suggests I offer to purchase the house from the estate, even though 1/2 of the tiny bit of equity in it really belongs to me. I cannot afford to pay closing costs involved in a purchase. I heard the estate could sign a quitclaim deed to me and then let me worry about the financing after or I could continue to make the payments in his name. Is there any reason this couldn't be handled with a quitclaim deed? There's a house payment due now and I don't want to make it if I'm not going to be able to keep the house. THANK YOU for your advice.
