My father passed away last week and had no legal will as i see it
it was typed by his neighbor signed by him i think and notorized by his friend. there were no witnesses on the paper. on it was just a few items gifted to me.a pistol and trunk..my brother recieved a van and fishing poles and a rifel and my sister a piece of furniture and another van....Now he has no insurance policies to speak of except a small one through his bank for burial expenses..He owes about 2000 dollars less than his appraisal on his house to a mortguage company. Its was worth roughly 26000 ..He owned the 2 vans listed above worth maybe 1500 totaled together And owes approx 10000 to 12000 in credit card bills and other bills like utilities and stuff ordered from the tv and prop taxes are due soon. he is behind on all bills at this point. We have told all utility and other services to turn things off at the house. We did go and get some stuff like guns, family pictures,keepsakes and all his paperwork in the house. We left all furniture alot of handtools the vans and a old boat in the backyard. Now what??? Who takes over?? Do we notify anyone like creditors ?? Does his stuff get sold and by who?? Is it ok to take the items we did or sell stuff like vans?? eyeryone i talk to says just leave and do nothin but this seems wrong to me? We cant go and take care of everything there since we live 16 hours away. brother and sister are hiding behind there couches thinking someone will find them.. I know we are not responsible for his bills but i dont think hiding is the right thing to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please help?? I even called a lawyer in tn and he said we did not have to do anything. sorry this is so long !!!
