There is only one way and that is to contact the mortgage company.

Is this mortgage even an assumable mortgage? If not, chances are your not going to assume it. If it is, the mortgage company decides if you are qulaified or not.

And assuming that you are using a closing attorney, make sure a title search is performed to ensure that you will receive clear title and that the liens are cleared up before you take possession.
