Re: When my father passes away ,will his home be considered an asset

You will need an estate attorney and a settlement company to help you resolve this situation. The easiest way to resolve this matter is to have your father sell you the house outright for a fair market price. Contact my office and I can help you through this process. By waiting you guarantee additional liens being placed on the property.
