Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
If you were helping your mom with her finances, it is possible that your actions could make you liable. In general, though, you are not responsible for the debts of a parent.

No, a child whose parent has terminated parental rights inherits nothing under Michigan's intestate estate law. She would, of course, inherit from her adoptive father.

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

Answered by attorney William L Spern (Unclaimed Profile)
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.
