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

Answered by attorney William L Spern (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of William L. Spern
My sympathy for your loss. You may have a moral obligation but no legal obligation to pay unsecured debts of your late father. If your mother or any other family member never agreed to the debt, they have no obligation to pay the debt. This all assumes that there is no estate opened to transfer assets. If an estate is opened, the estate must give notice of death and a time period for all debtors to make a claim against the estate.

You will have to provide more details for a firm answer, but in general if it is his debt only it will be a claim against his estate, and no others. Now is the time to put a plan in place and review his, and your mother's situation. Make an appointment with my offices, or call an attorney with all of the facts for specific advise and counsel.
