Single Brother died No will No children No estate Trying to handle his affairs How do I get authorization for mortgage company or other creditors to talk to me?
Your brother has an estate if he has a mortgage. You need to petition the probate court in your brother's jurisdiction to be appointed the Administrator of his estate. The court will issue Letters of Administration that will enable you to carry on the business of disposing of his estate.
What else can I help you with?
Your brother owns a house in Colorado is not married and wants to transfer it to you via quitclaim deed. Can this be done?
If your brother is the sole owner and there is no outstanding mortgage then he has the right to transfer the property to you by a quitclaim deed. However, if there is an outstanding mortgage the lender can demand payment in full if the property is transferred. If the transfer is done to avoid creditors then the court can invalidate the deed.You should consult with an attorney who can check the title for any outstanding claims and encumbrances and then draft a deed that is proper for that jurisdiction.

What happens if your mother dies and she owns the mortgage on your brother's house but your brother is the only one on the deed?
Chances are that you mother owned the property, borrowed against it and then deeded it to your brother. Your brother took title subject to the mortage. The best thing to do is to encourage your brother to refinance and get a loan in his name. The existing loan might have a clause that accelerates payment in case of the death of the borrower. It is unclear if the lender would be willing ot continue accepting the payments, but your brother will lose the house in foreclosure if he doesn't make the payments.A Different PerspectiveYou stated that your mother owned the mortgage. That sounds like your brother purchased a home and your mother loaned him the money. That means your brother owes a debt to her estate. If she had a will her property, including the mortgage, will pass according to the provisions in the will. If she died intestate, without a will, her property, including the mortgage, will pass to her heirs at law according to the state laws of intestacy. Your brother owes the balance of the mortgage to his mother's heirs and that may include himself. You can check the laws of intestacy for your state at the related question link provided below.
