My mothers friend was about to lose their home. They were going to just move out and let the bank take it. Instead, my Mom came to an agreement with them to let her move into the own and pay the note and all the bills. They have told her that once the home is paid off, it will go into her name. Is this legal? Does she need to hire a lawyer to draw up an agreement between them to cover her if they decide to take back ownership once the balance gets low?
