I've been cashing my mom's SS check for two years now even though she's been dead.  I need some kind of way to keep paying the house, right?

If your mother's Social Security check has been issued to your name, you can apply for a replacement Social Security card in her name by providing the original death certificate. You could also apply for a benefit in her name by submitting an application for survivors benefits. Alternatively, you can contact the mortgage provider to discuss repayment arrangements, or if needed, set up a new payment plan with a cosigner.
