Is the house in your name?
The mortgage is in their names but the house is recorded at the county in our names. Though his and his father's name are the same. The property tax and other information comes to us but all things from the bank come to my in-laws.
If the house is in your name than you can claim the mortgage interest and property taxes paid by you on the property.
Let me know if you have any question.
