More details to this question:
My dad passed away a few years ago. I have been trying to get the house in my name but every time I reach out to someone no one gets back to me. I just got a letter for a foreclosure. They gave me a number to call for the United Neighborhood Center of NEPA. I left a message with them today. I just need to know if there is anything I can do at this point. I reached out to a foreclosure lawyer, and they said I needed to talk to probate attorney.

It is true that the only way to transfer ownership of a decedents assets is through probate. Moreover, you will need to defend the foreclosure case but should set up an estate ASAP to assure you have authority to act on behalf of the estate. To that end, you should consult an attorney who handles trusts and estates. Depending on where you are located, I am happy to refer you to someone.
I trust this answers your questions, but do not hesitate to call or email on a free initial basis.
