It's not, and it goes with the house unless the Will directs the Mortgage be paid off.
The son is not personally liable on the Mortgage, and should sign no papers to create that situation.
Once the legal issues are resolved with a document (sometimes by court order) showing the property goes into son's name, the lender should be notified and copied so they can change their records.

Once the home is put in the son's name, he must contact the lender.
