Without seeing the contact, no one here can tell you for certain. However, if you have already received some benefit from the contract, a minor defect is not going to invalidate the contract.
And is receiving commission from the bank on the execution of the documents such as loan documents
I doubt the loan officer was "notarizing loan documents" because they do not have to be notarized. It is much more likely he was notarizing signatures on the loan documents. So, to answer your unstated underlying question, yes, the loan documents are valid and you are still liable on the note(s).

Yes, in all likelihood, 50% of your father's pension that would have gone to your mother would, therefore, go to her estate. Additional information would be needed to say that is the case with certainty. Any experienced estate administration attorney can assist you with this matter.
