If my mothers house is refinanced under my name can I evict her husband?
<p>My mother has fallen under hardship and can no longer afford her mortgage payment. The realtor has a solution of refinancing under my name to have the mortgage come down to a more affordable price. Only issue is my mothers husband whom she is unhappy with still lives here (rent free or without contributing to expenses). Am I legally allowed to evict him once my name is on the title of ownership?</p>

<p>In the US, a house Title determines ownership, the name on the mortgage determines who owes the bank money.  But a new mortgage will need the title holder to be on the document, because you cannot use someone else's real property as collateral.</p>
<p>As to who can evict someone, it's the property owner, not the mortgage holder.</p>
