There's no reason you couldn't except the difference in interest rates would be substantial. More than likely a much larger amount would be owed/repaid then if the mortgage was paid by conventional means. Also, interest charged on a mortgage is tax deductible, CC's aren't.

No mortgage company directly accepts credit card payment, only debit cards. Historically, you could only use your cash advance checks to pay your monthly mortgage bill with a credit card. However, just launched this year, two companies are allowing direct payment.

The first is an American Express program for IndyMac and American Home Mortgage loans. There is a $400 enrollement fee for this program and you can only sign up on closing of a new loan.

The other service that let's you pay your mortgage with a credit card is CardIt. They support 115 lenders and charge a per-payment fee of %2.49 + $19.99. You can use a Visa, MasterCard, or Discover, but not Amex.

Will you be forced to sell deceased mother's house in Maryland left to and where family members are living to cover mothers credit card debt?

Yes, the house will probably have to be sold to pay off the credit card debt if there are no other assets. The alternative might be for those that live there and are to inherit to take out a mortgage and buy the house from the estate for the amount of the credit card debt and pay off the credit card bills. This would eliminate the credit card companies placing a lien on the house and allow them to get clear title.
