Is there a judgment against the dead man? Is there a lien? If you bought the house with a valid lien existing at the time the lien would remain in effect and your title would be subject to that lien.  I don't know if this is the case, but I can't imagine how else you could be pursued for the debt of another. Contact your title insurance company.

This is very strange.  You certainly need to be sure it is not a lien on your property.  Contact a lawyer right away.
