Debt

[word61]

Can anyone tell me who owns a debt?

I had a loan from my Mother, who is now deceased. The loan was obtained by her thru a credit card, the credit card company filed a claim with probate, but didn't file their fees. Went to formal probate & judge ruled untimely, therefore wiping out the estates debt. I had a verbal agreement with my Mother for payments, time period of loan & interest, nothing in writing.

Now the personal representative (executor) & his attorney are trying to collect the debt from me. They are not giving me credit for any amount that I paid to my Mother over four years.

If the estate debt is wiped out by the judge, is mine to the estate. It's almost paid, even though the personal representative & attorney don't seem to agree.

Help!!!

You need to discuss this with an attorney that is qualified to answer your questions.

This forum does not deal with wills and estates.....nor the judgements of probate Courts.

A consultation with an attorney is free........ be sure to choose one that handles estates and wills thru Probate Court.

Good Luck
