The mortgage was done without widow’s knowledge?
Question : The mortgage was done without widow’s knowledge?
Individual died, but property was homesteaded and only on his name, marriage was more than 5 years old, married by law and in church, does it make any difference that property was homesteaded ? . His “Attorney” failed to probate within 3 months as required by Florida Law, it is now 9 months latter isn’t it “Negligence”?
Now a second mortgage shows up, but widow was never notified of missed payments and she is facing foreclosure. Is this fair?

no one said life is fair. I’d check with a real estate attorney in the state where the property is located.
Sounds like you and the Mrs. need to get a new attorney as soon as possible. I’m not sure how someone, without title, deed, proof of possession, etc. can take out a second mortgage. Don’t sign anything, don’t talk to anyone — go directly to a new attorney. What you are saying does not add up to anything but NO GOOD! Every day people are being taken advantage of.
Do whatever you can or need to do — but get help quick!
Best of Luck!
