Would my mother's debt and lawsuit be charged on me if I probate her assets?

Answered by attorney Kathleen Delacy (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Reger Rizzo & Darnall, LLP
Any assets she owned just in her name would need to be paid to creditors/debts. Her debt however will not affect your credit. If her assets do not total $30,000 you do not need to open an estate but to get the title to her car changed and the money in her bank account you would need to sign an affidavit that all debts have been paid.

If person on mortgage passes away and I am on the deed, how can I keep the property?

Bernard H. Greenberg
Answered by attorney Bernard H. Greenberg
Estate Planning lawyer at Kokish & Goldmanis, P.C.
If your partner's name was on the deed, you start by determining the title status. Was it joint tenancy with right of survivorship or was it tenancy in common, or is your name on the deed at all? Since you are on the mortgage, you are personally responsible for the debt. You will have to either maintain payments or refinance the property. Depending on the title status, you may need to open a probate estate for your partner to transfer his interest to you. However, since you were not married, the situation is more complicated. You should immediately seek the advice of an attorney who specializes in estate administration.

It will depend upon the probate code of the state in which he died. In Michigan you would have rights.
