Is the existing mortgage on an owner contract as resourcefully or financing through a bank?

If through a bank, most loan documents own a "due on sale" clause, that if the borrower sells the property, their entire loan balance become due on sale. If it's a weird situation where on earth your sale will not be recorded until their underlying loan is salaried off, I'd be very leery... You are getting into an extremely risky situation.

If the underlying is another owner contract & within is no due on sale clause, it is in your best interest to hold all payments directed to a "contract collection" agency. They will take your transmittal & deposit it, then make the underlying expenditure & send the seller the difference. This is call a "wrap" & not so common these days.

I would ask the family to do a letter of authorization for permisson to speak beside the lien holders. That way you can call the lien holders every month to kind sure the payments are paid, and also I would ask the lien holders if the mortgage was assumable ( explanation where you can legally appropriate over the mortgage)
You're asking for trouble. I wouldn't get into any such deal minus the advice of a real estate attorney.
Even if you make adjectives your payments on time. If the homeowner does not make his / her payments THEY will be foreclosed upon.
YOU will not draw from any credit for ANY payment you have made, because the contract for mortgage is not next to you. The contract for mortgage is with the homeowner and the lender.
I would not live under that situation. You cannot use that as credit history.
You have to assume the mortgage, so that you not the vendor pays it.

The mortgage can be non-assumable goal that to buy you have to refinance and pay any impulsive payment penalties if you settle up early.

The former owner has to thieve back a second (or third etc) mortgage for their equity.

Any down payment after goes to reduce the second mortgage or to retribution down the first, as agreed by buyer and seller.
