Here is the scenario:
74 year old woman, retired, recently divorced.
Her name is on property deed but current mortgage is in husbands name only. Wife retains home in settlement but must take out new mortgage to pay off balance (approx 50% - 60% of value) of current mortgage to remove husbands liability for the debt. Does she have any options other than a conventional mortgage? Are most banks/credit unions likely to require a co-signor since she is not working?
