I am my moms executor and she recently passed away. I do not know where to start.

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
If the house is not in your mother's name, it is already owned by you, one sister and the other sister's estate.  If there is more in the estate than the house, you will have to probate the Will to get it.  Contact a probate attorney who practices in the county in which your mother lived and died.

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

Answered by attorney Vincent A. Liberti (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Halloran & Sage LLP
This depends entirely upon the laws of the state they live in. Many states impose liability for medical debt upon the spouse. Some states impose the liability upon children as well. So it depends upon their state's laws.

We live in Houston, TX. If my husband or mother predeceases me, am I responsible for their debts - any individual credit or purchase accts they have?

Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet
Estate Planning lawyer at The Overstreet Law Firm
Your power of attorney has nothing to do with your mother's debts. Debts are generally addressed by the estate of the person who passed away. You may become responsible for debt if you were a co-signer or otherwise responsible for the debt along with the person who dies.  As for credit cards with your husband, that may be considered community debt.  You may write your wishes down, but it would be better to have formal Wills drafted to decrease the problems that could arise with any other type of Will you may draft on your own.
