If your name is not on the loan, the bank typically cannot take your house solely due to your spouse's passing. However, the situation may depend on how the property is titled and whether there are any outstanding debts or obligations tied to the estate.

If there has been a change in ownership the bank should be notified. They will need to make some changes in the account and will want proof of death and proof that the title to the property passed to the surviving spouse. In this economic climate the bank should be satisfied to allow you to take over the mortgage. You may want to speak with a local attorney who specializes in real estate transactions. She/he may be able to facilitate the negotiation with the bank for you.
You can buy I bonds for your spouse online at the official TreasuryDirect website or through your bank or financial institution.
The options include: stop paying the mortgage and let the bank repossess the house; pay the entire mortgage yourself; divorce the spouse and move out; divorce the spouse and stay, while your spouse moves out; find out why your spouse refuses to pay half of the mortgage and see if some agreement can be reached; seek cheaper housing; go on an extended backpack tour of Europe; enlist in the army.

When a spouse who is the primary bank account holder dies, the joint account typically remains accessible to the surviving spouse without needing to close it immediately. The surviving spouse can continue to use the account, but it's advisable to inform the bank of the primary account holder's death. Depending on the bank's policies and local laws, the account may eventually need to be updated to reflect the surviving spouse as the sole owner or closed if a new account is opened.
