"Wanna go have some fun. If you own your house with your wife, go call up 10 banks and tell them you want a mortgage on your half of the house. The bank will tell you to take a hike. Why? As an attorney that specializes in credit and loans, I can tell you that if JFK Jr, drops dead tomorrow, the bank will not be able to collect their mortgage. States in the Northeast have tenancies by the entireties. This means that any lien or judgment creditor of the debtor spouse cannot foreclose or execute on the home if the judgment/lien is only against one of the parties."

Yes. I think the only place where you might be able to get away with it would be California, where "communal property" has a much stronger tradition. But even there I'd be surprised.

This whole loan thing is a big joke. I've posted about it before. Who is paying it off? Kerry couldn't afford a fraction of the payments on his salary.

Let's not forget that most of Kerry's Senate salary is being docked for not being present for his Senate duties

According to Rush today: Kerry's campaign committee paid the first installment on the loan.
