My father passed away without a will. He did recently write a note to my mother leaving all of his assets to her. This was not notarized. He was married to my mother for 20 years and got legally divorced from my mother a few years ago but they still lived in the same house in New Jersey. They also each have 50% ownership of the house. My father also had no other assets and no life insurance. He had unsecured debts totalling 20 thousand dollars.
Who is responsible for the debts? Does his 50% ownership of the house now go to my mother? Is the note he wrote, leaving his assets to my mother legal? Can the unsecured debtors go after the house since his name is on it?
Please help. Thanks,
Charlie
