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

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jayne L. Sebby (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
Whether your mother, yourself, or your siblings become liable for the debt depends on a number of factors. Did your father accrue this debt in his name alone? Is the debt part of a business that your family operates or is part of? Is the debt due to a gambling problem or some other problem? Does it have some connection with his illness? Did he secure the debt with property he jointly owned with any of you? In a normal situation, the estate alone is responsible for the decendant's debts. However, in some situations, others may also be held responsible. Check with an estate attorney for specific answers.

What happens when one person named in a will passes away & the spouse takes property given to 4 other people in the will?

Eric James Smith
Answered by attorney Eric James Smith (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
For a will to have effect on real property ownership in Texas, the will must be presented to a Texas probate court and probated in some fashion. No one is required to probate a will. If you have an original will to probate, you can offer it within 4 years of the death of your grandfather. After 4 years it might be admitted as a muniment of title, but formal administration is not an option. If your mother was your grandfather's only heir (heirs are determined by law , beneficiaries are designated in a will) and no will was presented for probate, full title of the property would pass to your mother. Your mother's interest in the property could have transfered in full to your father at her death. If you and your siblings want to sell the property, I'd make sure you have some ownership in it first.

Am I responsible for paying these medical bills after he passes and can anybody take the life insurance from me for his bills that are owed?

If you are the beneficiary of the life insurance, then it does not go through probate and you would not have to use the funds to pay his debts. Please make sure that you did not sign for, or co-sign for, any of his medical treatment.
