Generally, Banks will not "change the name on the mortgage or refinance" unless they have an Order from the Court stating the individual owns the home. Your friend should seek out a probate attorney. This attorney can help your friend initiate probate proceedings to transfer title to the property to the beneficiaries of the estate.
