What is the name of your state? California
Thanks in advance for your help. My father died at the end of January. He had no will, no land and no money. The only assets he owns is several cars that value less than $10,000. I am his only child, there is no spouse and only one other uninterested relative left of my fathers.
My question is this: my father was recently sued and lost a small claims case two weeks prior to his death. The judgement came in as a win in the plaintiffs favor. The total amount is $2500. Am I responsible to pay the judgement? Can I now be sued for the $2500 as the only relative. Can the plaintiff take my fathers cars? As far as I am concerned, he can have them as they have little value to me. I have tried to make good in my fathers name and pay all of other bills and expenses as he was on disability and had no other income. I do not have $2500 at this time as I do not have a job. The plainiff is now calling me expecting payment on behalf of my dad. Do we have to go to court again? Do I have to pay all of my dad's bill's?
Please help as I cannot stand all the calls and my father hasn't even been dead for 2 months.
Thank you,
