Okay, this is a little difficult to understand since it is unclear what exactly you are doing. As far as I know no bank or lender has an assumable mortgage on the books any longer given the way the mortgage market took a plunge. But if your mortgage is assumable and once the lender approves of the transaction and the loan and property transferred you should have no obligation at all. PLEASE SEEK LEGAL HELP. Good luck.
