You will have to check the deed to the property. If they are listed as Joint Owners with Right of Survivorship, no, your wife now owns the property. If they are listed as Tenants in Common, yes. That means that each of them owned half the house. They certainly can put a lien on it. Consult an attorney in your area for specifics.

If mom passed 3 years ago with no insurance or home but had 15000 cc debt and you were an authorized user but never charged anything to the account how do you get it off your credit report?
I'm not 100% sure but the way I understand the law it should not end up on your credit report just because you are an authorized user. The only time that is the case is in the community property states where the survivor is a spouse. I would contact the credit agencies (if theis did end up on your credit report) and request that it be removed based on that fact.

My name is on deed but not on the mortgage. The other owners passed away. Who owns the home?
If you owned the property with "them" as joint tenants with the right of survivorship the property bypassed probate and became your sole property when they died but it may be subject to the mortgage. Mortgages by less than all of the joint tenants who own real property together are treated differently in different jurisdictions. You should consult with an attorney in your jurisdiction to determine if the property is still subject to the mortgage.If you all owned the property as tenants in common, their interest in the property passed to their heirs at law subject to the mortgage and their estates need to be probated. Your interest is free of the mortgage. As you can see this is a complicated question and you need expert legal advice.
