A man I know is going to get deported to Mexico for getting into trouble with the law, being that he was only a resident, and has offered me to take over the payments on his house and keep it for myself, but Im not sure. My friends think that since he's getting deported he'll get the house taken away. Im 23 yrs old and have never owned anything therefore have no experience or knowledge in this matter. What should I do?

It depends on the kind of trouble he had with the law. If he was selling drugs then the house and all his property will be confiscated. If that is not the case he can always give the house to you has a gift. You should contact a real estate attorney to find out the legal process in acquiring this house from him. Unfortunately just because you are deported, it doesn't mean that you can never return to this country. He might come back one day legally and ask for his house back, so if I was you I would get it in writing that he is giving you the house. You don't want to spend a lot of money on his house, paying his mortgage and having to return it one day. Think about it.......I hope I was helpful.

By your use of the word "resident" I am assuming that you are trying to sugarcoat the fact that the individual you mentioned was a criminal illegal. I believe that any and all illegals need to be deported and any property, money, possessions, etc that they have should be made forfeit since they were obtained under the commission of a crime. Other criminals lose what they have accumulated that way so why not the criminal illegals? And now if he was here legally, then the bank or other institution will take possession of it because he will obviously default on the payments. If someone like you wants to take over the payments, then there is a set procedure to go through and lots of paperwork.

It depends on why he's being deported. If he committed a felony, then he will first be prosecuted in criminal court and then go through another prosecutorial process in immigration court. If he is ordered in criminal court to pay restitution of some sort, then his house will be "confiscated", turned back over to the mortgage lender/ bank for sale.
My advice would be to not touch this with a 10 ft pole. You could easily end up with payments and nothing to show for them. If you are interested in the property, go to the clerk's office, let them know that you are and contact the lender so that you're first on the list to buy the property once it is released.

If your friend still free can do the transaction whit the company he have the credit, is no a big deal and don't worry, until the law find him guilty he can do everything want whit the property, take like a gift whit the proper papers, go to the reality company and ask the way.

It goes to the government or whoever was selling it to them, if you already own a house I think it could go to a family member you requested if here legally and if it goes to the government they would just sell it for cheaper.
