You qualify as a "successor in interest" and there are regulations which protect your interest in the house. Did you explain that your husband passed? Was the house titled in both names? If so, all you should have to give the mortgage company in order to get information is a copy of the existing deed to the house. If the house was titled only in his name, information about his estate will need to be provided to prove you inherited the house. You need to look for a local foreclosure attorney and perhaps a consumer bankruptcy attorney for assistance with the specifics.
