Full question:
I have quitclaim deed by way of joint tenancy, with rights to survivorship. The mortgage is not in my name. I want to pay-off, negotiate, or sell the property however, I am not the personal representative for the deceased mortgagor, so the mortgage company will not talk with me. Basically, I own the deceased interest in the property and am being prevented from obtaining it. What are my options?

To address this issue, consider sending the mortgage company a certified copy of the quitclaim deed and a certified copy of the deceased joint owner's death certificate. This may help establish your ownership interest and facilitate communication with the mortgage company.
