Protecting Mortgage Rights for Heirs and Successors in Interest

This resolution stops a government rule that would have removed protections for people inheriting homes with mortgages. It ensures that heirs can continue to take over mortgage payments without facing the same strict income checks as new borrowers.
Key points
Prevents the removal of rules that help heirs keep their family homes.
Maintains easier paths for successors to assume mortgage responsibility after death or divorce.
Stops banks from applying standard ability-to-repay rules to people inheriting property.
