I am not sure if this is the correct category to post this in, hopefully my question will still be answered.

My father passed away in November of last year and left us with debts with various banks, credit cards, loans, etc. The house still has an owed amount and was entirely in his name. My mother just recently got the house refinanced solely in her name. All owed amounts to collectors that were under my mother AND father's name have been paid off. All other's that had just my father's name, have not been paid off. They've all been sent a copy of his death certificate.
Can any of the collectors place a lien on the home even though the house is no longer in my father's name? What financial responsibilities would my mother have with these collectors, if any? I guess, my question is whether or not anyone can go after my mother for any of these debts, including taking her home?
Thanks in advance for your time and efforst!
