What happens to a house if the wife's name is not on the deed but is on the mortgage and the husband dies with debt?
This is a difficult legal situation. First, the wife must ask herself why she signed a mortgage for property she didn't own. The husband's estate must be probated in order for legal title to the real estate to pass to his heirs. His will or the state laws of intestacy will determine if the wife inherits the property or only an interest in the property. However, even if the wife does not inherit 100% of the interest in the property she is 100% responsible for paying the mortgage. If the mortgage isn't paid the bank will take the property by foreclosure.
