Your dad died and he was the only name on the mortgage is your mom responsible for the mortgage?
Toddabe01
The mortgage must be paid if you want to keep the property. If the mortgage isn't paid the bank will foreclose and take possession of the property. If your father was also the only one on the deed then his estate must be probated for title to the real estate to pass to his heirs.
You should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate.
