Foreclosing on the Dead

Filed under: Kanye West

kanyemom.jpg

Kanye West's deceased mother, Donda, owes money from the grave!

Court documents filed by Northern Trust Bank say it's foreclosing on Donda's home.

The bank is asking for $606,983.43 from Momma West’s estate.

Donda West’s estate is worth a total of $150,000.

If the payment is not granted, the source says the bank will take the property and resell it and the proceeds will go to the claim.

Any shortfall on payment will come out of Donda's estate.

Kanye West would only need to pony up money if his name is on the mortgage documents.

      Perez, I think you need to lay off any comments on deceased people's lives and their family members who are still healing from their tragedies. I know you make money off being mean but there's a point where you are completely tactless and trashy and it's low class.

Dude come on, I know it's a slow day in Hollywood but damn fool, don't step on people's toes to get a little attention… in the long run your only burning bridges…your 15 minutes are ticking away slowly but surely fool.

      RIP Donda West, she seemed like a great lady and I think you will see many wonderful things from Kanye due to her influence and memory. I read Kanye's blog every day, and I am so intrigued by him. This estate BS is meaningless in the big picture.

      I don't get it… why would the bank want $600,000 + and it is only worth $150,000? Perez is it worth 1.5 mil? Don't most people have a life insurance rider on their mortgage so if they pass away it is not left as a financial hardship for their family? She was a well educated woman.

      kanye would probably pony up the money anyway out of respect for his mother!!!

      you people calling her ugly are pieces of shit, I hope you all die in a car crash tomorrow.

    53. n. says – reply to this


      53

      Okay, first, you people are jackasses. Second, people almost ALWAYS without fail have debt even when they die. It is up to their survivors to make sure it is taken care of if the bank has exhausted their options. I would imagine she has plenty in her home that could be appraised and auctioned to help pay for things unless it was filled with a bunch of worthless items.

      54

      Do you mean her house is worth 1.5 million?

      I dont get it….why would the bank want almost 6 times more than her house's worth…real estate values COULD NOT have fallen that much!

      58

      Pez you a stupid fucker acting like you are a mortgage banker now. If Kanye's name is on the deed, so what, that doesn't mean he signed the mortgage note, they are two different documents. This is a prime example of how full of shit you are. Always talking like you know something when you don't know shit. A deed documents who owns a property, a mortgage note documents who owes the money.

    64. 64

      Re: ken – Until the mortgage is paid-off, the bank holds the note on the home. An executed final deed registered in the owners name won't occur until the note is paid. Regardless, if her name is the only one on the mortgage, then her estate is responsible. You are correct - the deed and the mortgage are two separate entities.

      70

      For being such an educated and financially capable woman, she forgot to do one of the simplest and smartest things a homeowner can do, and that is get a level or decreasing term policy that is on par with the owed amount and years on the mortgage. That could've easily paid for her home after she was dead, and then the property could've easily been left for any other sibling.

      76

      Legally, Kanye's not responsible, but he ought to do the decent thing and pay the mortgage off, then sell it. I know it's been for sale recently, and I can't imagine Donda put anyone else in charge of her estate.

      Was she not Kanye's manager? She definitely should have had more money. I don`t know about these people who originally come from nothing. They spend their newfound wealth so quickly and think they will just get more money. These rappers and their families live and look (sometimes) like kings and queens. Insane.

      :: She Was professor and chair of the English Department at Chicago State University for 24 years with a PHD!:::

      And yet, she could not find self-fulfillment without altering her physical appearance, as promulgated by people like her son, with lyrics that objectify women with excessive tits and asses.

      If Donde could speak from the grave, maybe she'd say "Thanks Son, for helping make a culture where I was not comfortable in my own skin!" .

      My only question is why Donda would even have a mortgage in the first place, considering Kanye's earnings. That house should have been paid for in cash while she was here.
