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

Roman Aminov
Answered by attorney Roman Aminov
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Roman Aminov
The family members do not owe the debt personally, but the proceeds from his estate may be used to pay the debt. The answer depends on the nature of the death benefits his estate or family members are owed.

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

S Christopher Hunter
Answered by attorney S Christopher Hunter (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Hunter Law Offices, PLLC
The general rule is that unless someone else signed for the debt they are not responsible for it. Therefore, if neither his wife or his children agreed to pay the debt or cosigned for it they are not obligated to repay it. However, the people he owed money to will be allowed to go after his probate estate. Depending upon how the insurance benefits were set up they may be able to go after it if your father did not name a beneficiary on those benefits.

Can I get control over my father's estate if I live in a different estate than he does?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
It depends upon a number of factors, including but not limited to the following: Whether he left a Will naming you as his personal representative. If he left a Will naming you, the answer is probably yes, assuming you meet all state law requirement. If he names another person, then the answer is probably not. If he did not leave a Will, it again depends upon state law. In Nevada, a personal representative who is not named in a Will cannot serve without an in state co-personal representative. Some states do not have a residency requirement.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
