What is the name of your state? AZ
My father passed away a couple of months ago - since then my mother has refused contact with anyone except my younger sister. (my younger sister hated my father)
A year prior to his death, I needed to borrow money as my son was in some trouble. He and my mother loaned it to me. When my son got his act together, he took over the responsibility for the loan. (part of the repayment also included purchasing a vehicle from my father) Payments were to be made $75.00 a month until the debt was paid off. The agreement was put in writing. $1K to my mother and the balance to my father.
The verbal agreement between the 4 of us, was that my son would be making the $75 payment when he received restitution from the guy that was paying him from a car accident.
While my father was alive this was all fine and good. My son paid off my mother her $1K a week after my fathers funeral. He has not recvd any money from the guy paying restitution since so has not been able to make any further payments.
At my fathers funeral, my mother told us she no longer needed any of us, except my younger sister. We have had no contact except when my son made the payment.
5 days ago, my son called my mother to try to understand what all is going on and she told him she was very emotional and would call another time. Today we get a letter from an atty reminding him of his oblilgation to pay the estate of my father. We don't even know who the estate is? We can assume, but we all know what assume means? What are our rights in regards to the estate of my father? we have no problem making the payments as previously agreed, but here is the final clincher - At the funeral my mother told my older sister, that my father was going to forgive the debt my son owed when he graduated. she was going to go and tell him then, but my older sister suggested waiting as money discussion at the funeral didn't seem appropriate. HELP Thanks
