Unlikely. There's no direct action to garnish wages or benefits. However, if they foreclosed and there was a judgement of deficiency, etc. then they could attempt to garnish the bank account in which the funds were held. You could fight that, however.
At any rate, call a probate lawyer, many, such as myself, work with investors and banks to get rid of unwanted property.
