Unless your father left a will, bequeathing the house to you on his death, the property is your mothers to do with as she pleases ! You, as a dependent of your mother, have no legal right to stop the sale.
If your father is the only one who co-signed for the loan, and the title to the property is vested in both of their (your mother and father) names "as joint tenants"...upon your father's death, the title automatically belongs to your mother and she becomes the sole owner to the property. Since she did not co-sign (if in fact, she did not), the bank cannot run after the property as it automatically became your mother's property, however, if your mother co-signed as well...she will have no way out, but be forced to pay your borther's debt or collect by forcing your mother to sell the house, etc...
The legal rights of a second wife's son on the property of the first wife would depend on the laws of the specific jurisdiction where the property is located. Typically, the first wife's property would be inherited by her legal heirs according to the laws of inheritance in that jurisdiction, which may or may not include the second wife's son, depending on factors like whether the first wife had a will or other legal arrangements in place. It is advisable to seek legal advice to understand the specific rights involved in this situation.
If your father owns the house, and owns the property in question, then he likely has the right to keep said property. However, if the offspring is able to prove that they own the property in question, then the property should be relinquished to the offspring.
First, you need to determine how your parents held title to their property. If they owned as joint tenants or tenants by the entirety, your father's interest passed automatically to your mother and she became the sole owner of the property when he died. He could not dictate where the property should go in his will.
Can a son make you sell the house after his father dies and the mother is still alive?

Simply stated, you are living in his mother's house at her discretion. You have no rights in her property other than those provided under local landlord/tenant laws. If the property was owned by his mother and your husband inherited the property on her death, then you would inherit it.
Property handed down from father to child is an Estate and whatever is in that Estate such as monies; property or contents of the house; owning cars; boats, etc., is an inheritance to the child named in the father's Wills.
You are the new owner of the property and have every right as such under the law. Your father no longer owns the property and therefore he no longer has any rights in it.
If mother and son are indeed tenants in common then each has the right to the use and possession of the whole property. Son cannot mortgage or sell the property without the consent of mother. Mother cannot mortgage or sell the property without consent of son. Both are equal owners.
If the property is in your name alone then you can sell it.
