Does the family inure the debt the father made without their knowledge once he dies?

Answered by attorney James T Dunn (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at James T. Dunn P.C.
Under Utah's family expense statute, the wife, but not the children are responsible for debt incurred by the deceased to provide the "necessaries of life" which include, clothing, food, shelter, and medical care. Any frivolous or other expenditures, the surviving spouse is not reponsible for. However, the Probate Code makes clear that there can be no distribution to heirs until all debts of the decedent are paid. To the extent that distributions of the estate are made to survivors of the deceased when a proper claim has been made against the estate, the personal representative or heirs who receive $ can be hedld liable to the creditor who did not get paid.

Which is better to do, a living trust or a last will?

Answered by attorney Charles Richard Perry (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Charles R. Perry
Your situation is sufficiently complex (unmarried couple, real estate that is the separate property of one of the partners) that you need to meet with someone who does estate planning, and perhaps someone who can help you with a separate property agreement. These are not easy conversations to have, as a number of people fear that the separate property agreement is really a "pre-separation" agreement, when it is really a device to set down your desires on paper so that everyone understands and there is no confusion. It is unusual that a person who owns real estate would opt for a will over a living trust, but it happens. The estate planner with whom you consult can evaluate your situation and advise you appropriately.
