Best Answer

The house gets sold and the estate gets settled. If there is money in the estate, it will be used to pay off any debts, including remaining mortgages. Once all of the debtors are paid, the remainder is distributed according to the will or the intestate laws. If there isn't enough to pay off the debts, they debtors lose out.
