<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a question that seems straight forward, but I cannot find any authority.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Deceased owned a house with a mortgage. The will gives the house to Beneficiary A subject to the mortgage. Beneficiaries B and C get the residue. Who pays the mortgage during the administration of the estate? It seems that Beneficiary
A should be paying the mortgage starting at date of death because she receives the house subject to the mortgage. I have not found any authority to support this, but logically it makes sense to me.<o:p></o:p></p>
