My spouse passed away we had a mortgage on my home can my son take my home from me or force me to sell it?

Consider first the ownership of this house. A mortgage means you signed an agreement to pay for the property. It does not mean you own the home. It just means you have to pay for it. A deed indicates ownership and if your name is on the deed, you are an owner. Otherwise the deeded owner is free to do what he wants to with his property. The only wrench in the works for your son is that he can not get clear title to his property until the mortgage is satisfied. You are not going to want to continue making payments on a place you do not own. This is a sort of "Catch 22" and might help you and your son come to some reasonable decisions regarding this property that are fair to you. If your name is on the deed, your son does not get to decide what you do with your property, even if it was willed to him by your spouse, as long as you are alive.

The husband has his name only in the mortgage deed and mortgage insurance if he dies would mortgage company get the house or would the wife?

The mortgage insurance you are referring to is most likely the standard mortgage insurance that is on a loan above 80% of the value of the house. This MI covers the lender in case of the borrower defaulting on the loan. It does nothing to help the borrower. If you are on the deed then you still own the house if your husband dies but if you cannot either refinance the mortgage or continue to pay the monthly payments then the lender will ultimately foreclose on the house and repossess it. What you need is a life insurance policy that will pay off the balance on the mortgage in case of the death of the mortgage holder.

How do you change the name on a house deed after a divorce?

Changing names on deeds typically happens for one of several reasons including legal name changes, death, convenience or conveyance. If there is a mortgage, you will need permission from the lender. Any new deed with changed names changes ownership. The people currently named on the deed (grantor) will execute a new deed to the newly named people (grantee). The grantee(s) on the new deed are the new owners. Deeds should always be drafted by a professional. Errors made by non-professionals can be costly to correct it they can be corrected. As soon as a new deed is executed it should be recorded in the land records.
