Introduction<\/h2>\n
While your inheritance is supposed to be a gift specifically for you, it is often considered a source of money for creditors looking to be paid. Generally, when an individual receives an inheritance, they become the legal owners of everything they receive.<\/p>\n
This means that if the deceased leaves their home to a beneficiary, that beneficiary gains the title to the house. If there are no debts owed or liens on the home, the beneficiary is free to do whatever they would like with the home, but if there are outstanding debts or a lien on the house, the beneficiary will have to make difficult decisions.<\/p>\n
