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.

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

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
You both should do your own living trust, if you each gave assets to put into the trust, as you are not married. If you were married, you could do a marital trust. Trust are more flexible than wills as to the future changes that occur in your life.
