Depends on the state... Generally, unless you took over the loan, you should not be held responsible for the debt. Through the process of estate administration, the bank should have been notified of the death, and the mortgage should be satisfied before it gets to your hands. If there isn't enough corpus ($$) in the estate to satisfy the mortgage, the bank may be entitled to repossess the property. However, in any of these scenarios, I can't see how your credit should be impacted by the foreclosure procedures, unless you are on the mortgage and/or deed. * The foreclosure will not appear on the report unless the defendant named has a judgment entered against him or her in regards to the litigation.

How do you collect a lien on property not worth as much as the lien?

In order to collect on the lien, you will need to see a real estate attorney and have the lien foreclosed. In some states, deficiency judgments are allowed (meaning that if the property is worth less than the lien, then any unsatisfied portion of the foreclosure judgment could be executed on other property of the defendants). See the phone book for real estate attorneys who give "free consultations."
