Dang...you're an OG of the game. I was staring down a few bills for someone that recently passed and was about to pay. I'll tell them to see my boi...first name Pro, last name Bate
Great video. I have a question about what to do with a car lease that was leased 4 months before my mother passed living in PA. She did not have a co-signer, I notified them of her death they made me submit a death certificate before they would make arrangements to come pick up the car. Even then, it wasn't until the next month's car payment wasn't made that they were open to taking it back. Now they are sending a bill to her like they on't know she has passed for $4,000.00+ for cancellation fees. I put the estate ad in the paper and they still have not filed a claim against the estate. I'm in the process of selling her house and would pay it if and when the house sells but in the meantime what happens can they add extra fees?
Theres a difference I think to draw between 'stop paying the bills', and 'actually cancel services'. Pretty sure the deceased doesnt need Netflix. Many things wont need to proceed to a claim if you can just stop them if there is no contract period.
My mother died in July 2023 while living in Florida for many years, and she had a home that was in probate to keep as a homestead she also had 2 mortgages but I want to know is if my brother and his wife drove here to Florida from WV and he rented a brand new pickup truck. But now he wants to charge for using the rental to pay for his mileage to cone to her funeral and to haul some things to the dump.
What happens if you are left a professional or business will and if that business has debt, does the beneficiary also inherit that debt - given that the business owner and the beneficiary did not have a legal general business partnership. What if you reject the will?
Question..I was told some creditors will offer a settlement which of course would be cheaper. If the creditors submit a claim do they normally submit the full balance? I would rather pay the settlement offer than the full balance
thank you for this information. People dont like added mess so we always think to pay before it gets out of hand. I did pay some of my mothers outstanding debt before I started probate. But then I look at the statue of Limitations and decided to just live in the residence and let that law run its course. 30+ thousand I save because I minded my business. Creditors claim period was smooth sailing and I was unbothered. Probate close!
Did you send a notice to the known creditors? And they didn't submit a claim? Any hospitals? My relative had about $3.4k in hospital bills so I've got my fingers crossed they don't file a claim.
@@weekendhomeprojects of course you have to send a notice to creditors and the court records it and its also published in the newspaper. No one submitted any claims and she didnt have hospital debt. Just sit back and wait for it to pop up on your case. After the period is over you file for closure. Although i have read that they are given up to a year to request funds from the estate. If they dont file a claim you keep moving right alone. YOU did your part by filing the claim. my probate was in CA
great i stop paying and i will consult a lawyer about this collectors keep bagging me, ohh reminding me to pay it because my obligations? at beside my husband doesn't have nothing left so why I'm suffering this, so great answer bro.
My father passed recently, he owed a lot for taxes he wasn’t able to pay off. He was in debt it would seem like, and based on this economy at the moment it will be hard for me since I will try to handle everything. He lives with my stepmother but doesn’t own any assets. Would those debts be carried over to me, since I am his birth child? Thank you
Stop paying the bills, except for literally 90% of the bills. Electric bill, water bill, property taxes, insurance, mortgage, heloc, car loan, car insurance. But don't pay the "other" bills. What OTHER bills? Lol.
Medical bills, credit cards, qvc, fruit of the month, newspaper delivery, televangelist pledges, cable, cell phone, lawn fertilizing service, monthly pest control sprayers, cleaning service, mobile car wash service, water delivery, ... its crazy how much is pushed on the elderly and they have the nerve to try to make the family pay out the rest of the "contract"
Other bills: Credit cards, cable tv/internet, newspaper, garbage collection. If you're not going to drive the decentan's car just have comprehensive coverage and park in a safe place.
what if there is no money in the estate? what happens to the creditors claim filed ? can i contact the creditors to let them know and if they can write off the debt?
Same question here too. My dear dad passed on Thanksgiving Day and I am still getting his affairs in order, since he was fiercely private with ALL of his financial business. He has about $5000 in his bank account and triple that in debt. Not sure who to pay since someone will be short.
@@DelicateHazard My father had no assets and tons of medical debt. There really was nothing to do other than bury him. I did get calls from creditors, and I told them that he was deceased. They asked who I was, and I wouldn't tell them and said that I don't want to get involved as this isn't my debt. I also told them not to call here again. Never heard from them after that.
I have 2 cars under my mom’s name and she just passed, I’m co-signer on both I believe but can’t make payments. How bad can this affect me and since I don’t have god credit already not sure if they’ll refinance and I’ll be able to pay same amount
My mom just passed and I’m the executor. She has no assets except for her clothes, furniture and electronics. I canceled her bank, phone, newspaper, and cable. Am I missing something? Who else do I notify of her passing. Do I need to do so immediately? Thank you for the help
Sorry for your loss. As to your questions, it's hard to say for sure. If she has no assets you likely don't need to do anything else. To confirm though I'd talk to a lawyer.
if there were no assets you have done everything. Closing down what she was using, which it sounds like you did. Probate is needed to transfer over assets that you want in your name!. Blessings to you and i send you love. I lost my mother and I just closed her California Probate Estate. Ill start my you tube for people like you and myself soon!
Do you have to pay known bills if the creditor hasn’t made a direct claim during the time period? I have some bills here, but these creditors haven’t actually filed anything.
Good video, but I'd offer another suggestion after a loved one passes - don't sign ANYTHING having to do with a debt until you've spoken with an attorney. Plenty of creditors will try to get survivors to voluntarily assume debt that they aren't responsible for. Nursing homes can be really bad about this.
What happens if you spend all the money in the Estate account before paying a debt that has filed against the estate. What’s the penalty a judge would sentence that person for spending money and not paying the debt??
You don’t have to pay deceased credit card debt if it’s less than $5,000 because the banks will have sold the debt then the collector won’t take you to court to collect $5,000 it will cost too much. Right?
i have a question if a person died in Washington and they had a few old medical bills from 10 years ago that where in collection can they try to put a claim on there estate?
Statute of limitations for collecting debt after someone's death? If someone wins a settlement re: someone who has passed away can creditors claim some of this money 3 years later?
what happens if a spouse dies with $30k in credit card debt spread across 3 cards. they have one joint account with a spouse that equals $15K (not enough to cover credit card debt) but the house that is jointly owned has a net equity of $500K. how would the credit card companies end up going after the house? its not a liquid asset like the joint bank account.
They would have to open probate and follow the creditor claim process. If it's a joint credit account, though, they could just pursue it against the living spouse. Would need more info to give a definitive answer...
In my state at least (Florida) we have a law that shields your homesteaded property from unsecured debt like credit cards and medical bills after your death. If you die they can they go after other things like bank or retirement accounts but they can’t touch your property or your automobile. Not sure why every state doesn’t work this way.
Mistake I made is paying the executor money to pay a radiologist, that was later payed by my late mother's medical aid, with a smaller amount being rejected in that claim.
The notice that went out in the paper for probate said something to the tune of - "Probate is open for 4 months as long as the creditor received 60 days notice.....". In that case, is it wise to not send the notice to creditors until 60 days (2 of the 4 months) has passed? It's been three weeks since I put the medical bills creditor on notice and they've still not made a claim. Fingers crossed.
Yes. That's how we do it. :) Use the rules to your advantage (and hiring a good probate attorney is the way you ensure you get ALL of these little nuggets).
My husband died 12/22/2020 due to Covid 19 and I was left w a lot of bills that I can’t pay bc my income dropped $3,000 per month. I stopped paying on them after he died. They know he died but they keep calling and asking for him. I don’t answer the phone.
🙂 DON'T STOP PAYING UTILITY BILLS OR HOUSE/HOA PAYMENTS!!! In my experience, going through Probate right now, getting money OWED my sister has been the hardest and most time consuming part of her probate.
I live in Ohio.. we inherited a property in a will that we have resided in for 20 years.. mortgage was in my mother in laws name she passed and we have tried and tried to find the mortgage lender or payment book .. I have spent hours on hours to no avail.. we have received foreclosure papers I have called the mortgage lender listed on the court documents and they said they don’t have the deed .. ??? I’m so frustrated beyond belief.. me and my husband both make good money that’s not the issue.. help!! We need help asap!! There isn’t a date set for the auction but we get papers from the county.. the property taxes are paid in full?? Any ideas? It’s appraised at 165.000 and only around 60.000 is owed!! Please help !!!!!🤔🤔
They have to have the deed in order to foreclose and sell at auction, right..? Tell them prove they have rights to it. 10 months ago, any luck? My issue is my moms hoa that refused to even talk to me let alone show me a bill and after missing 1 payment an investment company filed a super lien on their behalf that I didn’t ever know about until trying to close probate. Ended up selling at auction because the lender wouldn’t take me as a successor of interest even with executor papers and being beneficiary so the investment company is trying to evict me after living here for 8 years. I want to know how does an investment company file a lien with the hoa’s super lien when I was only 1 month behind because they wouldn’t show or discuss what they where charging me, almost double with all the fees. Hoa kind people out then uses dues to buy the units at auction then uses dues to fix them up then rent them for profit for their gain. How illegal is that! But how do I prove it when it’s different names on llc’s but it’s same people who are on the hoa board?? Colorado for ya. Equity court? Loosing over $100k the beneficiaries have rights to
My grandma passed away and now my mom is paying the doctor bills. Does she have to pay that back even though is under my grandmas name. My grandma doesn't have any properties or a will because she is not from here. What can she do??
My probate office did that on my behalf. Once I opened probate they had me pay a fee to have it done, and the newspaper sent me a copy so that I could then send it to the known creditors. Had I done a small estate affidavit I could have skipped this (I think), but needed a letter of testamentary for a couple things so went ahead and did it. I'm 2 months in. 2 Months left.
Hi Chris my lawyer inform me that the bank file a request to my husband's estate for credit card debt my husband was a pensioner and I'm the pensioner and the lawyer said I must sell movable assets because my husband didn't sign life policy I don't even know what's that what must I do now my lawyer said I have to pay that money and my marriage is out of community of property with thanks Sarah
I lost my stepdad and mom two weeks ago due to COVID. He passed on the 13th and she passed on the 15th in AZ. I’m from NC so it’s a little difficult to handle across the country. I know this falls under intestate succession because they had no will and his children are next in line to his inheritance and my sister and I from my mother. This is a small estate. They rented and had more debt than assets. My question is can I submit a small estate affidavit if the estate is insolvent?
if more debts then assets, why not disavow things ? just let the chips fall where they may... you might want to get personal effects.. pictures, heirlooms, etc.. but let the "system" just deal with it...
What did you find out? I had the opportunity to do a small estate affidavidt. I was wondering how the $3.4k in medical bills would have went if I did. Right now I'm 2 months into a 4 month probate waiting to see if they file a claim.
@@weekendhomeprojects I found out nothing actually. I filed her will non-probate. She had a lot more medical bills, like closer to 40k but after a while they stopped sending bills to the house. She had nothing in her name.
Hi Chris, thanks for your video. Short question, working with a guy to sell his mom's house to us. The house worth about 160K as is while mortgage is about 140K at this moment and a local credit union has a 10K debt. Credit union has already filed a lawsuit for this 10K (pending status now). I am pretty sure if a probate opened, credit union will file a claim. Here is my question, what is the lowest amount do you believe credit union will take? Would a very low low-ball offer will work or they will want like 50 percent or 75 percent of balance? How to let them take lowball offer? Thanks.
I'd call them and ask them. These types of debts are harder to negotiate, though, as they are tied to the real estate (i.e. they have a way to get paid as the loan is secured by the property). Never hurts to reach out and ask though!
Shouldn't matter (in most cases). If they aren't your bills you aren't responsible for them. If you're unsure talk to a lawyer (call us if in WA state).
Landlord passed away do I still pay lol something I’ve been wondering any tips or advice you can give me.? He did have I guess like a property management company that would rent out for him because he own so many.
You know, you could start over if you are unhappy with how you worded things. I think you did just fine. What about paying the morgage after the estate has gone into probate? We are in MO, not WA. My sister wants to keep making payments but I think we should defer them to when the estate is liquidated. Can we do that or is my sister right?
If someone dies, collect social security and have outstanding debt. Why not let the deceased continue collecting on his/her social security until all the creditors are paid off. Once everyone is paid off, then the social security payments can stop permanently. That way, everyone wins.

The answer is you should contact an attorney in CA (I have referrals) to find out for sure, but I don't believe the kids would be entitled to anything. You'd need to see if there is something called an elective share for kids in CA. Don't practice there so I'm not sure.

Was there a will or trust stating those expenses would be covered? Otherwise, I doubt it. Check with probate though.

Lost big moma to covid. Feb 16th 2022. I'm so lost dealing with this foreclosure matter.
What about medical debt from your wife and she passes away? Nothing joint owned. I signed nothing. Filed will non-probate.
What did you find out? I had the opportunity to do a small estate affidavidt. I was wondering how the $3.4k in medical bills would have went if I did. Right now I'm 2 months into a 4 month probate waiting to see if they file a claim.
@@weekendhomeprojects I found out nothing actually. I filed her will non-probate. She had a lot more medical bills, like closer to 40k but after a while they stopped sending bills to the house. She had nothing in her name.
@@stevewyche5232 Thanks for sharing.
@@weekendhomeprojects No problem
I have estate issues, big time.
How do I get a free consultation?
Find a lawyer in your state that does what you need and talk to them.
Hi Chris, thanks for your video. Short question, working with a guy to sell his mom's house to us. The house worth about 160K as is while mortgage is about 140K at this moment and a local credit union has a 10K debt. Credit union has already filed a lawsuit for this 10K (pending status now). I am pretty sure if a probate opened, credit union will file a claim. Here is my question, what is the lowest amount do you believe credit union will take? Would a very low low-ball offer will work or they will want like 50 percent or 75 percent of balance? How to let them take lowball offer? Thanks.
I'd call them and ask them. These types of debts are harder to negotiate, though, as they are tied to the real estate (i.e. they have a way to get paid as the loan is secured by the property). Never hurts to reach out and ask though!
What if they have my name for the Estaste?
Shouldn't matter (in most cases). If they aren't your bills you aren't responsible for them. If you're unsure talk to a lawyer (call us if in WA state).
So if you want to cheat your way out of money that you owe, this is the way to go. Can I trust a lawyer who gives me such advice?
I love how you explian. Your great.
Great video. I like your personality. 😎 ‘This is not going well.’ 🤣
Thank you!
Landlord passed away do I still pay lol something I’ve been wondering any tips or advice you can give me.? He did have I guess like a property management company that would rent out for him because he own so many.
I'd keep paying rent if you want to keep living there. :)
You know, you could start over if you are unhappy with how you worded things. I think you did just fine.
What about paying the morgage after the estate has gone into probate? We are in MO, not WA. My sister wants to keep making payments but I think we should defer them to when the estate is liquidated. Can we do that or is my sister right?
Can I speak to you ?
Depends. :) What would you like to speak about? And, are you in WA State?
No NYC and its about Trustee and Executor duties.

JB.ok
They want me sign pay for funeral bills too probate a estate
If someone dies, collect social security and have outstanding debt. Why not let the deceased continue collecting on his/her social security until all the creditors are paid off. Once everyone is paid off, then the social security payments can stop permanently. That way, everyone wins.
Social security stops when you die.

The answer is you should contact an attorney in CA (I have referrals) to find out for sure, but I don't believe the kids would be entitled to anything. You'd need to see if there is something called an elective share for kids in CA. Don't practice there so I'm not sure.
You are a handsome man, I’m not a homosexual but I’d just thought you should know
Thank you.
Yes you are
Okay, the facial expressions have me thinking Wishmaster. Sorry. Not a slam. Just keep waiting to hear...go ahead, make a wish.

@ 00:44 "going badly...." why are you shooting from a mirror ? the lettering in your background is backwards... then, there's the booze on the shelf... a boozy video ?
I'm not shooting from a mirror. :) I have the phone turned around so I can operate the camera.
hEY gENIUS, PAY MUCH FOR YOUR EDUCATION? wHEN YOU GO INTO A.D. STATUS, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING, MUCH LESS PAY BILLS.
Okay. Once probate is opened the executor can do pretty much whatever they want. That's when you handle the bills, etc.
