Maybe. How the account is established determines what action can be taken by one account holder.

Generally if the names of the account holders are separated by "and" then both need to agree to any action taken; if the account names are separated by the word "or" then either holder can act dependently of the other.

The answer depends on the details: when was the mortgage granted- when was the survivorship created. If the mortgagor was the sole owner of the property when they granted that mortgage, and later created a survivorship with another, then ownership passed to the survivor subject to the mortgage. If the survivor doesn't pay the mortgage then the lender will take possession of the mortgage by foreclosure.Survivorship property does not become part of the decedent's estate and the mortgage passes with the property to the survivor.
