More details to this question:
My father passed in Sept. 2008, he had a home equity line of credit on his condo. Four months later my fiancee passed away so I moved into my dad's condo. When I spoke to a loan officer at US Bank about refinancing dad's loan in my name, she told me I would be better off to just pay as it is. Now I'm finding that it may not have been my responsibility and I've been paying on it for 6 and a half years. Any advice?

I don't see where the death certificate is going to clear title. What you need is a small estate or Petition to Determine Heirship. YOu need a good probate lawyer to look at your facts and help you. You might be part "legal" owner of the property and you just need to get marketable title.
