Expert Advice When You Need It Most

Does the seller have a minimum price guideline they must follow? Can the owner post any selling price for home.

mortgages total 200, 000. Owner lost job selling home after 20 years. Can he sell home to son for 200, 001? This would keep loan current, bring monthly payment down..

Additional information
If there was a lien on the property and the sale price was not enough to cover the lien what happens to it? The lien had to do with child support my soon to be exhusband had not paid in full. I am looking for some way to not have my assets connected with this lien. This is my husbands debt.
