Are adult children responsible for their parents' debts when the parents die?

Answered by attorney Roberta Ohlinger-Johnson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Harris, Yug & Ohlinger
Adult children don't automatically become responsible for their debts. But mortgages and property taxes have attached to the property, so if you want the property generally you're going to have to pay the debts for it.

How can I prove that I paid them in full so that they can’t come back and say I never paid them back?

Answered by attorney Stuart M. Nachbar
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Stuart M. Nachbar, P.C.
Write it up and send it to them to sign along with the payment by check, and have them sign it and return it and keep copy of it with cancelled check. Put in the writing that the cashing of the check constitutes a full release of any and all obligations that way if they cash the check but do not send it back, you are covered. Also put on the check in the memo section in full satisfaction of debt owed.

Can someone keep their house if they file for bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney David Paton Gardner (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of David P. Gardner
It depends. If your friend is current on the mortgage payments then she can keep her house in either a Chapter 7 or a Chapter 13. If she is not current on her mortgage payments and the house is under water (the mortgage balance is more than the current value of the house), then she will lose the house in a Chapter 7. However, if she can afford to make the mortgage payments going forward then she may be able to keep the house in a Chapter 13, if she can also afford a monthly Plan payment based on her Disposable Monthly Income.
