A member of the family has died leaving a number of debts and had no life insurance on the property whose name it was in. He also left no will. He has a wife and children.
The mortgage was interest only and from what I can see, the current resale value of the house is about the same amount as the outstanding mortgage. We haven't been able to find any details of any other investment vehicle for which the capital part of the mortgage wouuld have been settled.
Speaking plainly (with some level of detail) if you can please, what is the likely outcome for his surviving wife and children?
Thank you.
