my father died last winter, and due to "bad wording" by my parents' attoney, my mother was forsed to endure the last almost 7 and 1/2 months, to get the probate court date of the 25th of this month. not, to mention the 10K it cost for "the fees". my father's passing was enough, but then my mother had a heart attack, which has left her pretty much disabled, at this point. during these tramatic events in our lives, we were just notifed that my mother's house, the house my father left her in his will, has had a foreclosure process just filed. i was forced to move in with her to help take care of things, bascially try to take over the situation. i don't mind saying it, because it is obvious in my question~i'm in over my head, to say the least. can i stop this foreclosure process somehow. where do i start. with just a limited income level myself (& two sons to raise), i JUST now caught her up to date on almost all ofher bills. she was in a three month back date on all her bills. ideas?

Sorry for the losses you’ve been through.
I suggest you get a Bankruptcy attorney for your mom.. The bankruptcy will freeze future foreclosures for a while and give you more time to get on top of everything than you can always pull back out when things improve.

You may be able to go to city hall and ask who handles the foreclosures-usually lawyers hired by the city-and make arrangements to pay. We got a friend's mother's house back. She hadn't paid taxes in years and years and we paid them and they took her off the list. These were just the guys at city hall so they do have the power to help. Cheapest place to start. Of course, we had a sad story and did the feminine thing-we were cute and begged. Whatever works. . .

You need a professional here. I hate to say it, but you really need to talk to a better attorney specializing in Estates and Trusts. However, as you stated money is an ordeal for your family right now. So you may want to reach out to a Credit and Money Management Counselor from a Non-Profit organization.
