Would having a possible credit card judgment pending affect her chances of getting the reverse mortgage?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
In theory, it shouldn't, as judgment liens typically don't attach to homestead property. In practice, title companies are reluctant to issue title insurance (required for a reverse) if there are judgments. You might consider trying to settle the judgment lien prior to applying for the reverse.

Powers of attorney are only effective during the person's lifetime. You will need to petition the probate court to name you the executor or personal representative of your mother's estate.

Am I responsible for the bills that belonged to my deceased mother?

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.
