If on a mortgage and not on a deed if I get sick can they take the house?

If I'm on a mortgage and not on a deed if I get sick can they take the house?

If, for whatever reason, the payments are not kept current, the mortgagee may foreclose, yes.

And after they foreclose, they can obtain possession, evicting you if you are occupying the house.

A mortgage is usually secured by a deed of trust. SO how is this different?

No. It's not her property. So if the health care providers get a judgment against her, the judgment could become a lien on her real property. The fact that she is on the mortgage doesn't make it her property.

Well, actually a deed of trust is a substitute for a mortgage, not security for one.

This is a duplicate thread. Can someone please merge them?

Merged, which sort of made this sound out of order
