I purchased my current home from my mother 6 years ago. My older brother put in the contract that as long as my mother is alive there will be a life estate put in the contract. She has been living in the house, mortgage, utility free. I now find it difficult to make payments on my mortgage as I had to retire from my job of 28 years, due to the economy and need to know what steps and rights I have to either selling the house or is there an option that I can have the mortgage and rights back to my mother and brother? My brother has been giving me a hard time about my finances and it ultimately by him hounding me about this whole matter, it has caused my health to go down hill. I am very sick and have been put on medications, as I have also stated to my brother and still he worries about the well being of our mother. Please help me out. Thank you kindly.
