Accept debt/deed transfer?

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MI
My husband is listed as the only Heir in his fathers estate.
His sister is the Personal Representative.
There is No monies in the estate.
Only debt/ Mortagage, w/no equity.
She is moving to close the unsupervised administration of the estate.
Also sent us a deed and property transfer affidavit to transfer the property from
the estates name, to my husband.
The question is this: Does my husband have to file this paperwork? He does NOT want the property or debt. There is a deadline for filing this, but we don't know what that deadline is. What happens to the property if my husband doesn't accept? Can the court or the Bank force him in any way? No one has paid on this mortagage in over 8 months.
We assumed it would have already gone to forclosure, but hasen't.
Any advice would be helpful.

The estate can be disclaimed in its entirety.

How about contacting the mortgage company and signing the property over to them. This gets rid of the property.

**A: not entirely, especially if the lender refuses to accept.

If the mortgage company will not do this... than they can just not put the property in their name and allow the forclosure to go through right?
