Wrong!

Under the law he had at least 1 heir, YOU. That said you get the house but are NOT responsible for mortgage. The house is responsible. The house will have to be sold to pay the mortgage, If it nets enough to cover the mortgage then that's it. If it doesn't the bank eats the short fall. That is you are not going to have to pay anything,

PS: This is a probate question
