  • I would not let the house go to auction. That will be the least advantageous. Having her sell now means that she has to have the balance of the mortgage available at closing to pay down the loan. That would of course reduce the value of her estate and then it’s less going to the grandkids or whoever. Whether she or her estate sells when she is alive or afterward is likely moot. She still owes the bank the balance of the mortgage no matter what.


  • Her estate is responsible for the mortgage. You have to pay the mortgage out of whatever resources her estate has or “sell” the house to the grandkids at which point they are responsible for the mortgage. The bank has to get their money somehow. If the grandkids don’t want to assume the mortgage and the estate doesn’t have the money to pay the mortgage then you will default and the bank will foreclose and take the house to auction.
















  • She did really well and it exposed Cloudflare for its crappy people management, but the sad truth is that this is precisely how layoffs always go. Rightfully, the employee is seeking answers, but many times the answer isn’t one they want to hear and HR will never divulge it anyhow. The line of messaging from HR was boilerplate and locked down to keep the unpleasantries of the process from being known. Eventually the employee understands she has no options and they move on to next steps. She defended herself well and made those two people feel like cocks for the way they did it, but it makes no difference at the end of the day.
