When we had a loan modification during the 2009 financial crisis due to loss of income, the mortgage company modified the mortgage. An error occurred and my name was removed from the mortgage, or my husband had it removed without telling me. Anyway, he is dead. Can I deduct the mortgage interest deduction without my name on the mortgage? I will refinance once all my finances are in order and I am working on that, but it is at least 6 months out.
