Generally, the mortgage must be paid or the lender will take possession of the property by foreclosure. You should consult with the attorney who is handling the estate.

Are there any negatives to a married couple having only one person in the marriage on a home loan?

Yes there are... if the person that is on the mortgage dies in a car wreck or something then the spouse will have a difficult time claiming the house unless the house was put in a will to the other who isn't on the mortgage. The house could go in default of payment and the spouse not on the mortgage wouldn't necessarily know about it.

What happens in Texas to the entire estate if a spouse dies without a will?

If all of the decedent's descendants are also descendants of the surviving spouse, then the surviving spouse gets everything. If not, then the surviving spouse gets to keep her half of the community property and also gets a life estate in one-third of the decedent's separate real property and 1/3 of the decedent's separate personal property (which includes cash). The surviving spouse also gets the right to live in the homestead for however long she chooses, until she abandons it, but she must pay the interest on the mortgage and taxes with respect to the home. The decedent's children get the rest, and they are responsible for principal reductions on the home mortgage and any insurance.

Only one spouse on mortgage are both responsible for foreclosure?

No. Both may be on the deed which means that you have rights to the property. However, if there is only one on the mortgage; meaning they are the only one that signed the promissory note, then they are the only ones who will be responsible. So long as you are not on the note to the mortgage, then you have no responsibility for the debt.
