Yes it would be part of the estate debt. The estate has to pay all of the debts off if possible. If the estate doesn't have the assets to do so, they distribute as best they can. If the court signs off on the distribution, the debts are ended.

Is a mortgage considered part of the debt of an estate to be paid by the estate?
This is an issue that may vary from state to state. Many states passed laws that provide that a person who inherits mortgaged property is not entitled to have that mortgage paid for by other assets in the estate. The mortgaged property itself is primarily liable for payment of the mortgage, unless the will says specifically that the estate is to pay off the mortgage. A simple direction to an executor to pay all debts is not enought to require the estate to pay the mortgage. If a will gives John a mortgaged house and gives Mary all the cash, and if the estate had to pay the mortgage as if it were an estate debt, then John would receive the house free and clear and Mary would lose a lot of cash. But because of this type of statute, the mortgage technically is not an estate debt. It gets passed on to John and he will pay off the mortgage. It should be noted that the bank will have to be paid when the decedent dies or it will foreclose and take possession of the property.

What happens when a mortgage holder dies and has no estate?
If by "mortgage holder" you mean the person who secured a loan with a mortgage, then it will be for a probate court to determine a fair settlement of the amount still owed by the estate to pay off the loan. If there is insufficient value left in the estate after settling taxes and other debts, the lender may have to accept the loss. It would seem a bit odd that the estate does not contain the property that was purchased with the loan.ClarificationIf a mortgage holder dies, they have an estate. The debt owed under the mortgage is part of their estate. You now owe the debt to their heirs unless there is some language in the note and mortgage that the debt will be forgiven upon the death of the mortgage holder. In that case, there must be recorded evidence of that language in order to remove the encumbrance from the property.
