The mortgage is a debt against the estate which must be satisfied before the heir receives anything. If there is enough cash in the estate, the mortgage can be paid off and the heir will get the house. If not, the house will need to be sold, and the proceeds used to pay off the mortgage. If there are not enough assets in the estate to pay off the mortgage, there won't be anything left for the heir. It is the responsibility of the executor of the estate to see to all these transactions and to deliver the proceeds--what's left after settling the debts--to the heir.
The executor of the estate can contest the debt. One of the things they must do is validate that all debts are accounted for and valid. Only then can they determine how to distribute what is left.

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.
