Confused in Alliance Ohio

[George A. Tomlin]

My girlfriends mom passed in Dec 2024. She left her home to her son and my gf and her now deceased bother and 2 sistersg and any surving children of her other children. Everyone has agreed that the home should be given or granted to my gf since weve lived there with her mom for the last ten years. I am working and have been eeping the homeloan current. I have been pre-approved for a va loan that is just more than what her mom owes on the home. Now do we get the home in our name and then pay it off or pay the loan off first and then have it put in our names. It has roughly 50k equity in it that I want to use as a down payment/full payment on a duplex in the future.
