One Response to “2nd mortgage”

A licensed trustee said...

Nothing – if you keep the property then you must continue to pay your mortgages (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc). If the property is being sold then the 2nd mortgage will be paid in accordance with the other charges registered on the property. If there are insufficient funds to repay the 2nd mortgage in full, any unpaid amount will become a debt that will be dealt with by your bankruptcy.
