The GE Money case means they filed summons and complaint, most likely saw the situation so they decided to discontinue it until further notice.
In some states, by association with you and your husband on the deed, they could merely hang around on the sidelines, wait till she passes, then sue you (check your states' statutes regarding this). Otherwise, you could place the house in a trust, but there is a caveat here; the debt collector will wait around until 2100 to collect their money. So, no matter what, you're gonna end up owing the piper. Don't be surprised if a lien is judged against the house/trust.
