In order for your mother to sign on your father's behalf, she would of had to have a Specific Power of Attorney assiging her that right.
Or, if the property is in a living trust and your mother has the right to act on behalf of the trust, she could have signed for him as well.
If neither of these situations exist, then it sounds fradulent. Contact an attorney to see what your recourse is if fraud is involved.

Borrowers do not have to speak to the mortgage company and it is permitted to use a power of attorney to authorize another party to sign on their behalf. If no power of attorney was provided then it may be a fraud case. In any event, once the notice of intent to foreclose is filed by the lender, then call the attorney handling the case (the notice will have contact information as required by law) and discuss the situation. Lenders almost always lose money in a foreclosure, so they may work something out with you. The only judgment they could get, based on what you said ,would be against a deceased person, that won't be fruitful for them. Also, is there an estate attorney that can help you with this?
Hope this helps

If your father was certified as mentally incapacitated at the time of the signing, the contract is invalid. However, your mother could be charged with forgery if there is no written indication that the loan broker gave her permission to do so.
Further, if your mother also signed the mortgage (both signatures), she is still responsible for the terms of the loan.

sure, yet you many times will want a extra robust fairness interior the valuables (+20%). Then maximum lenders (who're nevertheless in enterprise wink) will in simple terms own loan funds to you. Your suitable wager is to refinance in case you get a extra desirable value of activity than you're at present paying and IF the value of the valuables you very own has the required fairness. One further earnings i've got discovered is which you would be able to returned truly save for a extra desirable value on components vendors coverage. the huge factor of direction is loan coverage - that nasty severe value existence coverage plans maximum lenders require from their own economic business enterprise. you may virtually consistently beat that value with a private coverage enterprise. solid success on your quest.
