I came across the website below put out by the National Association of Home Builders and it’s wonderful. They answer most of the questions that are being asked by consumers about the extended 1st time home buyers tax credit, and also those who are hearing about the repeat home buyer tax credit.
Frequently Asked Questions about the new home buyer tax credits
Much thanks to the guys & gals at the National Association of Home Builders for putting this together so quickly and concisely.
: Hi Karen, You have several different issues with this one: Making the payments but not being on the note for the home, and your husband being on the deed of the home. I am not sure if there is any difference in the way a foreclosure would be treated in this instance (with the passing away of the relative who signed the note) or not. You could be considered a tenant, and yet your husband is on the deed, so the interpretation may be different. What you need is good legal advice. Most first consultations are free. If you want me to send you contact information for an attorney in Macomb County please feel free to email me and I will do that for you. Good luck to you, Kris Wales Kris@Chataboutmacomb.com

: Hi Deborah, It sounds like you have 2 distinct issues that need to be answered by a mortgage professional, one that is familiar with the MSHDA down payment program. Please call Michelle Cyplik at 248-601-1349 ext. 206. She's my "go to" gal when it comes to MSHDA. I'm sure she would be happy to answer your questions about what is applicable in your case - no pressure. Good luck, Kris Wales
