Yes, of course. The lender forecloses on the dishonored promise to pay, takes possession of the home, auctions it to the public, and you still owe whatever amount they were not able to obtain at the auction to satisfy your loan obligation.

If the home has more equity in it than you owe, then the extra proceeds of the auction will go back to you, but you'll need a new home, unless you won the auction.

My mother is deceased I am the executor of her estate there was a mortgage on a mobile home and my name is not on the loan so if the mortgage company forecloses am I liable for the loan amount?

If the mobile home and mortgage are in your mother's name alone then you are not personally responsible for paying the loan. However, your mother's estate is responsible for her debts. If the loan isn't paid the bank will foreclose on the property and is entitled to any other assets if there is a deficiency.

If you cosign on a home that is foreclosed what is your liability?

You probably co-signed on the MORTGAGE LOAN that was used to buy the home. As co-signer, you are also entirely responsible for payment of the loan....and if the primary borrower defaults you can expect the lender to come to you for payment, or if they have to foreclose and sell the property, for any losses they incurr doing so. Thats what you co-signed for...saying you were responsible for the debt if the other borrowers didn't prove to be responsible.
