Upon the death of the last remaining borrower, the heirs have periods typically of three months at a time up to 12 months with the lender's approval to sell the property. During this time, the lender or the lender's servicer will want to see the efforts of the family to sell and this is where the communication is important. The lender has no desire to have to foreclose and sell a property on their own, but if the family is not making any attempts to sell the property and repay the loan, the lender must eventually step in to facilitate the repayment of the loan.
