I would think the 1st step would be to determine if the house is worth the balance owed.  Then contact an attorney with real estate and tax experience.

You need to get professional advice on this one.   Tax ramifications may be significant with such a gift.

You need to talk with a CPA first to see what the tax ramifications could be for both of you. Do you plan on living in this home? Are you related?

Call a lender at Bank of America, Wells Fargo, or Chase. an 800# is provided on line. Talk to a mortgage professional and provide them with as much detail as possible.
