Yes, you are responsible for your mortgage payment until the day of closing the sale to a new owner of the house. Any remaining balance will be paid through the proceeds at closing.

Will it affect my credit if I short-sale a house that I own but do not have my name on the mortgage?

To conduct a short-sale transaction, the bank(s) holding the mortgage(s) have to agree to a short-sale. If your name is not on the Mortgage, technically you don't have a right to conduct a short sale. Even if you "own" the house (which will be in question during the entire process), the holders of the Mortgage note(s), typically banks or finance companies, actually have primary ownership of the asset (the house). If you are able to complete a short-sale, even though you are not on the mortgage note, as an owner the bank holding the note may ask you to take partial responsibility for the difference between sale price and mortgage value, or even to put in equity immediately to avoid a short sale situation. If this occurs, and you cannot pay, you will end up with a debt and a schedule to pay that debt. Adding any debt will negatively affect your credit score.

What if the estates debt is a mortgage?

The executor of the estate has the option of continuing to pay the mortgage and thereby continuing to own the property (which is presumably a house) or selling it. When you sell a house that has a mortgage, some of the purchase price will go to you, based on your equity in the house, and some will go to pay off the mortgage. If there is little equity in the house, or if the housing market is very depressed, you may realize little or no profit on the sale of the house, but you won't have to continue paying the mortgage.

Does the next of kin have to pay off a mortgage when the borrower has deceased?

Whoever inherits the house would need to either pay off the mortgage or refinance the house to take ownership of the house. The debt is not paid--unless the deceased had mortgage insurance--and the lien is still due. Of course, the house could be put up for sale, but only if payments are current and not in foreclosure.
