I am so sorry for your loss. If your father died with out a Will it is known as dying "intestate" and then the intestacy laws in your state will govern how his estate is divided. Now, in order to do anything one must be appointed as the Personal Representative of the estate. Once appointed you will have the power to act on behalf of the estate and do what is necessary to stop the foreclosure. Please seek legal help. Good luck.
