Any other person who may inherit the property would inherit it subject to the mortgage. If the mortgage is not paid the bank can take possession of the property by foreclosure. The person who owned the property at the time of the mortgage signed their rights in the property over to the bank when they signed the note and mortgage. Depending on your state laws the bank either owns the property or has a lien on it until the debt is paid. The bank will not release its interest until it's paid in full.

A life interest is a right to the use or benefit of property for the duration of your natural life. The fee interest is owned by the remainderpersons. An example might be: Betty is a 65 year old widow whose children are grown and have families of their own. She wants to make sure her boyfriend Ralph has a roof over his head if she dies but she wants her children to ultimately inherit the home. She could create a life estate in her will which grants Ralph full use of the property until his passing and then the remainder is to go to her children. Ralph does not have the right to sell or dispose of the property. Ralph also has the duty to reasonably protect the property's value. Once he dies, the property is owned by the remainderpersons free and clear of the life estate. No other action is necessary.
