How can I find out more information about my mother's estate?

James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Answered by attorney James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Estate Planning lawyer at James Oberholtzer, Chartered
I am assuming that you are in Oregon and that Oregon law applies. Your brother may be absolutely correct and to the extent that he retained any of your parents funds, he may have earned it many times over; but, he should be able to show you his records and an accounting for the money and property. He should not have thrown them away and there are legal requirements that must be followed to keep funds from a parent's estate. There are several ways to approach this; however, most likely the most efficient would be to start a probate for your mother's estate. If you are appointed the personal representative, you will have the authority to obtain the bank records and compel your brother to explain what he did. It will take money to fund the probate estate and a fair amount of time and energy. You probably should evaluate your basis for thinking that there is money left and quantify it to decide if it is worth it to pursue.

Am I responsible for my dead husband's hospital and doctor bills?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
First, if any property of your husband will go through probate (not jointly owned) then the probate estate should handle his debts. Second, if no probate, the answer is probably. As with any legal question, always best to have legal advice from a lawyer who represents you, and is looking out for your interests. The general rule in Oregon is that spouses are liable for expenses of the family, and these would generally include medical expenses. Also, in general if you inherit property you are liable for the decedent's debts to the extent of the value of what you inherited. That said, hospitals and medical providers will normally work with you. Some have deals with no-interest credit providers; others will reduce or write off their bills. The Oregon State Bar has a lawyer referral service. You can get referred to some estate lawyers who will meet with you for a consultation at a set fee.

The answers depend on too many factors to list. You should speak to an attorney about your individual situation. Many, including myself, offer a free consultation.
