What happens if a property is foreclosed and you have a life estate?

That depends on whether you consented to the mortgage. If you signed the mortgage you transferred your life estate to the bank during the period the mortgage was unpaid. If the mortgage went into default the bank can take possession of the property and wipe out your life estate. If you did not sign the mortgage the bank would take possession of the property subject to your life estate and your right to the use and possession of the property would continue.

If the property in which you have a life estate is a separate and distinct property from the property your son mortgaged (and you co-signed) then the lender has no rights in your life estate property. If the property your son mortgaged is the same property in which you have a life estate then if he defaults on the mortgage and the lender takes possession you will also your life interest in the property since you also signed the mortgage.

Are you responsible for your mother's mortgage on her house that was left to you by survivorship rights?

If you inherited the property, the estate must be probated and your mother's estate is responsible for the mortgage debt. However, if there is no cash to pay the mortgage and you want to keep the property, the mortgage must be paid or the bank will take possession of the property by foreclosure. If you decide to keep the property you need to contact the bank to arrange for an assumption of the mortgage or just keep paying the mortgage until the debt has been paid in full. If you owned the property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship and only your mother granted a mortgage in the property then you should consult an attorney who is familiar with your state laws regarding real property and mortgage by one co-owner.
