The executor of the estate represents the decedent.
A person doesn't "file for foreclosure". A bank or other lender takes possession of property by foreclosure procedure after the owner (mortgagor) of the property has defaulted on the mortgage. The procedure varies in different states. If the mortgagor dies during the foreclosure proceeding the lender can continue the foreclosure process against the estate. The death of the mortgagor may delay the proceedings until the heirs have been given notice of the foreclosure, depending on how far along the foreclosure has progressed. If the mortgagee (lender) dies during the foreclosure proceeding their estate representative can continue the foreclosure once appointed by the court.

If the debt is not repaid, the lender may go through foreclosure proceedings to recover the amount owed.
There are a number of factors involved. Did the child buy it from the parent? Is it by right of survivorship? How long ago did the transfer take place? You will need to consult a probate attorney in your jurisdiction.
The bank will take possession of the property. If the mortgage was granted prior to the property being transferred to the trust the bank may try to attach assets of the mortgagor/decedent for any deficiency. If granted by the trustee only the trust assets are vulnerable.
