A:
Absent some sort of fraud, there is no way the two children could have removed their dad from the deed without his knowledge and consent.

A: While it is clearly a default to change owners, the mortgage company will not care as long as it gets paid. Also, it is impossible to remove someone from a deed without their knowledge. The only way to be removed from title is to sign a deed, which is an acknowledged document.
