We have a loan that closed where the borrower's father passed away and left his house to him and his two brothers. With our new loan, our borrower paid off the existing mortgage and paid the two brothers their one-third equity in the house.

I am trying to figure out if this is a "Purchase" but wasn't sure since he was already technically an owner of the property since his father left it to him and his brothers.

Thoughts?

I would report this as an 'other'. As you noted, he was already an owner of the property.

Similar circumstance but with a tweak.
Parent's will just states that they hope the homestead will continue to be held by a family member.
It was not given to anyone specifically.
Son has been living in the house and paying parent's mortgage for years.
Now he will pay that mortgage off and the Estate (he's one of the administrator's) will QCD the property to him.
purchase for HMDA?

I don't think he had actual title to the property until our loan paid off the existing mortgage (and bought out the brother's interest). Does this make a difference?

I would call this a "purchase".

Red: I saw your second post, but I still think the son has legal ownership because of the father's will. I don't think this is a "purchase" for HMDA. It's very much like a "refinance" but he wasn't on the previous loan, so I'm with hmdagal - call it "Other".
