@Clayton Bradley and @Account Closed - it used to be easy to treat a lease option like a refinance if there was an option fee paid and history on the payments, however, i haven't seen this with any lenders in years.  Now, there will likely be local lenders who hold their own in house mortgages(paper) who might still do it.  This would be something to ask your local banks/credit unions etc...... it also is likely something they don't see very often and might need to be explained or reviewed.  Mike Hern if you know that this exists today with traditional lending, please let me know, as i am not aware of it and would be thrilled if this was back again.

@Andrew Smoot when you do a subject to you pay the payments directly.  I have them auto withdrawn from my account.  Normally if the sellers are worried too much about you making the payments they won't sell it that way, however if they are they can log in each month to their account to see their payments are made.   It's easy and I don't use a servicing company as that costs money and puts someone else in the middle.   I like the control of making those payments directly - also all their mail and information about the property (attached to that mortgage) come to my office.

    @Steve Diercks I didnt' read everyone's comments but i can likely help you a bit - i own a title company so i understand that issue and i have done several of these deals with a deceased. 

    A few questions and thoughts: 

    1)  Did the property go through probate or does it need to? 

    2) if it doesn't need to you can talk to a local title company (or attorney if you are an attorney state) and get the executor to sign the deed to the LLC.

    3) Also immediately start to call around to see what you will need for the new loan - if your current rate is good I would be hesitant to pay that off - and maybe you don't have to if your lender will allow it (maybe a private lender will allow it to stay on there)

    4) check with your CPA about moving the title - does that change anything for the estate for taxes at all?  Should it have been done before and they suggest it asap for the "step up in basis" inheritance? 

    I hope that helps some as there are legal, title and accounting issues potentially on this deal.
