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

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of William L. Spern
My sympathy for your loss. You may have a moral obligation but no legal obligation to pay unsecured debts of your late father. If your mother or any other family member never agreed to the debt, they have no obligation to pay the debt. This all assumes that there is no estate opened to transfer assets. If an estate is opened, the estate must give notice of death and a time period for all debtors to make a claim against the estate.

After termination of parental rights, is the child entitled to inheritance if that parent dies without a will?

Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
No. An adoption severs the parent/child relationship and she would no longer be an heir of her biological father.

This is probably not something he should do, unless there are lots of other facts. If your husband was the only heir of his brother, it would make it a little easier to say yes. Same thing if the brother's Will says everything goes to your husband. If a court approved it. More information is needed.
