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.

If one heir out of 6 refuses to sign for a house to be sold, is there a way the others can sell it without that signature?

Answered by attorney Susan Goodkind Wideman (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Wideman Law Center, P.C.
If the owners of the property are joint tenants with rights of survivorship, you will need all signatures to sell. If one person will not participate, your only recourse may be to go to Court. If they are tenants in common, each person can sell their own share without the signature of anyone else. If one of these provisions does not appear on the deed, then it is considered tenants in common.

Your attorney should be able to answer all your questions as to your duties. If not, many probate courts have guides on their websites to assist. Go to your local county's probate court's website to see if they have a guide available for download.

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.
