If the note is not paid, foreclosure will occur. Most mortgages/deeds of trust contain due on sale clauses which prevent a transfer without the lender's consent. Children will need to request to be on the note and also pay taxes/insurance. With a will, probate will be necessary.

I have reach out the the realtor cause I didn’t buy the house as is all these problems was supposed to be fix and they are just giving me the run around what can I do cause I feel I have been taken advantage of

Schedule an appointment with a local attorney to review the sale contract and provide options. The mere fact that there are problems with the house doesn’t make the seller liable but perhaps you can prove a claim for failure to disclose defects.
I have a previous landlord who is neighbors with my mother. He evicted us for breaking the lease (which we didn't) and has been harassing my mom periodically since. Most recently he has yelled at my 7 yo child for something that didn't happen.
answered on Jul 3, 2023
If he has threatened to harm the child seek and order of protection.
It takes a court judgment for an eviction. Therefore, if you were sued you should have had your day in court.

We were just hit with a HEFTY condo association fee. We need to pay 3k in less than a month, or we will be fined. They are charging 3k per unit to fix the roofs, that they haven’t fixed in years. On top of this, we already pay 200 a month. It seems unfair to ask for so much money so quickly.
answered on Jun 5, 2023
That is a lot of money, but you've not asked a legal question. Perhaps you can finance the assessment, assuming it was properly authorized.
How would I go about starting this process?
