Purchasing my Mother’s home in Virginia

I am a lawyer in CT and practice in this area.  You need to hire a lawyer to draft a promissory note and a mortgage for you to record on the property.  that way, if for some reason you fail to pay, your mother has the ability to take the house back.  You will be obligated to make these payments so long as your mom is the so-called back.  You mom may assign the note to another person so keep that in mind.  Bottom line is that you need to se a lawyer to draft these documents so everything is clear and clean.
