I am executor on a trust for three minors. I would like to take out a HELOC in their names. They own a quarter of a house that is paid off. What steps do I need to take?
Lenders require that all owners of real estate sign a mortgage or deed of trust in connection with a home equity line of credit. Before you talk to a bank, find out if the other owners of the real estate will agree to pledge it to secure the loan. Without their agreement, you can go nowhere with your plan.
