no. the only thing the bill collectors can do is try to get their money from her estate if she owned anything of value- such as a house.

Adult child is actually too vague to respond to in view of the fact a child can be an adult, but still not be emancipated from the family; assuming the adult did not live at home, it would depend upon her will executor assigned ... the property she owned, and what her bills were at the time of death. If she had property, it would have to be sold and her bills paid from the sales.

If she wrote a will, the will decides that issue.  If there is no will, then most states provide that the property goes to her living husband and children; or if just the children are alive, to the children in equal shares.  This is called "intestate succession" and you can do a web search on it for your state.

I say yes because I pay everything online and I can see that the payment has been accepted and the bill is paid. But my mom freaks out when she seems me do something like that and says that you should keep everything like that for a few years in case something happens and they say that you didn't pay. I don't see how keeping a copy of the bill could prove that you paid it, and its just a waste of space in my mind.

I think it depends on whether you got any money from insurance, or if he left any assetts.  If not, then u do not owe them  It is hard enough to make arrangements and pay for a funeral w/o debts lingering.  Unless u collected on something, or were a co-signer--the cc will go away.

If it was forgiven (legally)--it can not be resurrected after the fact unless she can prove to a judge that she was coerced into forgiving those arrears.  If you still owe arrears (which were NOT forgiven) then you do still have to pay to the MOTHER as she incurred the costs of 'raising' that child while support went unpaid.

Depends.  If you are the BENEFICIARY of the policies, they have no claim on your monies or benefits.  Now, that won't stop slimey debt collectors from trying to trick or guilt you into paying.  You'll have to brush up on fair debt collection laws, tell them to stop calling & harrassing or you'll file a complaint.\n\nBUT, if his ESTATE is the beneficiary, then yes, the monies must pay off all his debts before you can inheirit.  Actually, all his assets must go to pay off any debts before any of the heirs can collect - they only get assets less debts.

no, they are her responsibility prior to the age of eightenn. but from now on you need to pay any new ones or they will definitly affect your credit.

Depends upon the state law where he died, and possibly where he was domiciled.  Generally the estranged spouse still gets a share as they are still married.\n\nSome possibilities:  2/2 rule.  Spouse gets half.  Children share remaining 1/2 (each gets 1/6)\n\n1/3, 2/3 rule.  Spouse gets 1/3.  Children share remaining 2/3 (each gets 2/9)\n\nAny jointly held property with right of survivorship passes to joint owner at moment of death and is excluded from division amongst other heirs.\n\nFirst wife gets nothing, but may be designated as custodian for childrens' shares.\n\nUltimately the courts will decide.

If the credit card account was a joint account then yes, you are liable.  If you were just a secondary card holder, you would need to look at the contract to see if secondary card holders are liable for debts of the primary card holder upon death.  \n\nYou could also call your state's attorney general and they may be able to inform you of laws regarding your situation.  \n\nEither way, even though it was your mother's debt, it is a liability that has to be paid by her estate.  If it wasn't paid by her estate, you would need to check with an estate lawyer to see if you are liable for your mother's debts.  If you were the executor and in charge of paying off liabilities and disbursing of assets, you may be liable since you didn't take care of all of the estate's liabilities.

It is a federal law not state. Any debt incurred to either parties while married become the dual responsibility of both partys, weither a signed agreemnt is vild or not. THe dad is responsible for the morgage if it goes into default. So long as your friends parents are married. There is nothing he can do about this short of filling for bankruptcy. He must continue the payments, if it goes into default its his tail. Simillar things happen if on parent filles for bankruptcy and the other doesn't. Then all the bills accrued in the one parents name now automatically get switched to the spouse. Its not fair but it is the way it is.

To answer your question, no, the daughter would not be liable for her mother's debts.\n\nSome options for her to consider are:\n\n1. Calling their debtors and explaining the situation.\n2. Looking into bankruptcy.\n3. Moving out of the country.\n\nGood luck.

Wow...  It depends on her will.  If the grandmother of your fiance has a will and leaves the property to her son (first born or not) he will get it all.  If she leaves to your fiance's aunt, she gets it all.  If she doesn't have a will, then it goes to her kids (assuming the grandmother's husband is already passed).  The kids, without a will, will all get an equal portion of the land.

If the medical bills are your spouses, you may be able to get a judge to rule that they are responsible for the debt in the divorce papers. If the bills are for you or your child, I don't think you'll find a judge that will place the entire burden on your spouse.

I am sorry for your loss and my condolences to you and your family.As long as you or any family member has not co-signed on any of her debts the creditors will have to just eat that debt, as far as their constant harrasment you may want to provide them with a copy of the death certificate or mark the correspondence deceased return to sender and that may get most of them off your back .
