Dad and daughters names are on the deed to a house with a mortgage and dad dies can creditors come after the house for payment on a unsecured loan?
The answer to this may vary by state. The best recourse would be to meet with an attorney. The fee you pay for their time would be small compared to the cost of getting this wrong. With that said, creditors may sue the estate of the deceased person in an effort to obtain payment. They would have to win the lawsuit and obtain a judgment against the decedent and place a lien against the property. Once a lien is placed they could eventually take action against the property.

If the plaintiff/creditor wins the suit (they always do) a judgment is enterered against the debtor/defendant.

Other options are the seizure and sale of non exempt property belonging to the debtor and liens against real property belonging to the debtor.
