think the heir may refi to pull out some equity anyway but, it just struck me as odd – of course, I still learn something and hear something new everyday!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

kicks this into a (d)(3) situation - </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#333333">a transfer by devise, descent, or operation of law on the death of a joint tenant or tenant by the entirety; - but as you can see the

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#333333">Normally, I would agree with everything Dalynne says....however, I have a current probate where the note is held by US Bank (yes, I am naming names) and they
are being VERY AGGRESSIVE to obtain proof that the person who is inheriting will be doing so under the terms of the Act.....I believe that with the mortgage rates rising substantially that we are going to see many more banks take interest in following the
strict letter of the Act because they would love nothing more to either a) refinance to a higher interest rate or b) have the property sold and taken off the books as a liability where they will increase their cash on hand that said bank can then re-lend to
someone else at a higher rate. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
