Chances are that you mother owned the property, borrowed against it and then deeded it to your brother. Your brother took title subject to the mortage. The best thing to do is to encourage your brother to refinance and get a loan in his name. The existing loan might have a clause that accelerates payment in case of the death of the borrower. It is unclear if the lender would be willing ot continue accepting the payments, but your brother will lose the house in foreclosure if he doesn't make the payments.
A Different PerspectiveYou stated that your mother owned the mortgage. That sounds like your brother purchased a home and your mother loaned him the money. That means your brother owes a debt to her estate. If she had a will her property, including the mortgage, will pass according to the provisions in the will. If she died intestate, without a will, her property, including the mortgage, will pass to her heirs at law according to the state laws of intestacy. Your brother owes the balance of the mortgage to his mother's heirs and that may include himself. You can check the laws of intestacy for your state at the related question link provided below. You can add more details on the discussion page.If they owned the property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship then her interest would pass to your brother when she died. He would own it all. If they owned as tenants in common then her interest would pass according to her will or to her heirs at law if she died intestate. You and your brother would share her half-interest. If your mother executed the mortgage PRIOR to executing a deed that conveyed the property to herself and your brother then the bank could take possession of the property through foreclosure if the mortgage is not paid. If your mother executed a mortgage AFTER she conveyed the property to herself and your brother the property would be subject to the mortgage and the bank could foreclose on your mother's half interest if the mortgage isn't paid.
Your mother's brother is your uncle. Your father is his brother-in-law but he could also have other brothers-in-law. These would be men married to his other sisters, or the brothers of his wife. If they are men who married his other sisters, they are your uncles. If they are brothers of his wife, they are not related to you.
