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.

Can your wages be garnished if in foreclosure?
Banks can not garnish a homeowner's wages during the foreclosure process. This is because the real estate is collateral for the loan. Thus, the bank will have to take the property all the way through the foreclosure and have it sold at a county sheriff sale. This is the legal mechanism by which the bank is allowed to attempt to recover the amount it is owed on the loan. If the sheriff sale pays off the mortgage in full, there is nothing further to collect. If the property does not sell for enough to pay the loan off completely, some states allow mortgage companies to sue for a deficiency judgment after the foreclosure. Again, not all states allow this under the foreclosure laws, but it would give banks the right to garnish wages after the foreclosure, if they decide to sue for the judgment. Banks rarely, if ever, sue former clients for deficiency judgments, though, because they know foreclosure victims do not have a lot of extra cash to pay down another judgment after losing their homes. It would take the bank too much time and money to sue again, when they didn't collect very much on their original foreclosure lawsuit.
