Refinance vs assumption loan

I'm assuming your referring to an FHA loan, and if that is the case, then the mortgage company is correct.. when your husband assumes your existing loan, then it is cheaper for him to do it this way.. he only need to pay for an assumption fee and maybe an appraisal fee, but if he did a full up refi, then there are much more closing costs involved.. if the loan is assumed, then so long as the lender signs and submits From HUD-92210-1 (Approval of Purchaser and Release of Seller), then you would no longer be liable for this loan, and it would no longer show on your report, and you would be removed from the deed. If your talking about a VA or USDA loan, then these types of loans are assumable, but there are additional issues that need to be addressed. (entitlement, partial entitlement transfers, etc..) All the bad news you are reading about assumptions has to do with illegal assumptions or possibly no-qualifying assumptions (which stopped being issued since 1988).. and yes.. there were many.. but now, ALL government loans are assumable "WITH QUALIFYING"...

To protect yourself, you will probably want to read or have your attorney review the mortgage note on your existing property to determine 1) if your loan can be assumed by your ex-husband or another individual 2) your legal responsibility upon assumption of the loan ie. are you taken off the mortgage and the deed at refinance/ assumption.Note: comments should not be construed as legal advice.Regards,Ted ArkGolden Mortgage818 Rt 202-206Bridgewater, NJ 08807Tel: 908-722-9217
