Estate planning and settlement at loanDepot
Report a death at 1-866-258-6572
loanDepot is a mortgage servicer, so the estate planning question is about a debt, not an asset. When the borrower dies, the estate must notify loanDepot and resolve the outstanding balance—through payoff, assumption, discharge, or surrender depending on the loan—rather than name a beneficiary.
loanDepot has documented procedures for both preparing accounts during your lifetime and handling claims when an account holder passes away.
