[Straight-Up]

responsible person is deceased? A husband and his wife divorced, but the wife was ordered to remain in the home until her death. The house would go back to the ex-husband after her death. In the meantime, the ex-wife took out a 2nd mortgage on the home, but died before the loan was paid off. This 2nd mortagage was in her name only. The house will be up for foreclosure soon, the ex-husband just found out about this when he tried to get the deeds. Can something like this happen? Doesn't her debt die with her or go on to her beneficiaries? Can he be made to pay this debt, in order to keep his home? Please, help me to help my friend.
