Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
As a general rule, only a signed witnessed rule will be admitted to probate, although a completely signed holographic will may also be admitted.

Can creditors collect after your death? Must a will be probated? Can I do it with a lawyer?

Answered by attorney James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Estate Planning lawyer at James Oberholtzer, Chartered
Yes, creditors can collect after your death. A Will does not have to be probated. Yes, you can use a lawyer. You can also try to do it without a lawyer; but, it is difficult.

Can I refuse to inherit a house with an underwater mortgage?

Answered by attorney David Goldman
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of David M. Goldman PLLC
You can refuse the inheritance. In some cases you might have to file a disclaimer within 9 months. Regardless, the debt responsibility is not yours, unless you co-signed on the note. Often people inherit the homes, rent them while the foreclosure process is going on, and then abandon them with no liability. You should review your specific circumstances with an estate planning lawyer who is familiar with foreclosure defense.
