His estate will be responsible for the mortgage. Assuming the wife is not on the deed, if the mortgage isn't paid the bank will foreclose and take possession of the property covered by the mortgage. If the wife is on the deed and she consented to the mortgage the bank can foreclose. If she is on the deed and did not consent to the mortgage then the bank had a defective title and may not be able to foreclose.

My sympathies to you and your family. If you, your husband or anyone else in the family didn't cosign for a loan for the car then the debt ends.

Is a wife responible for a credit card debt if her husband dies?
The husbands estate is responsible, but not the wife directly. The amount of the husbands debt will be subtracted from his assets after his death. His wife will usually inherit what is left, unless the husband left other instructions in his will (ie leave everything to charity). If the husband dies and his debt is larger than his assets, then the creditors usually lose the difference. This is all handled through probate court, and a judge can choose who gets what.
