The proper documentation could be drawn up that when the last one dies, the loan is called, and you acting as the lender take possession of the property in satisfaction of the note.

What I don't know, and where I reccoemend that you speak with an estate planning attorney, is to ensure that you can do this, since you will also have an interest in the estate.
