Indiana probate

What is the name of your state? I live in Indiana. My son and I lived with my mother and took care of her for the last 10 years. she left me the house in the will. Now the nursing home she was in say that she owed $31,000 when she died and are going after our home which is only worth about $22,000. What can I do as this is all my son and I have?

Talk to a bankruptcy attorney to see if it would be to your advantage to file bankruptcy.

Indiana Probate

Indiana The home is only worth 23,500 and I am the sole beneficiary. Does it have to go through probate? Thank you.

Only reason to go through probate would be to officially change title/deed to the names of the new owners, but since the home is going to be sold there is no need for this to be done, so probate is not needed. Please talk to a bankruptcy attorney to see if there is anything legally that you can do to protect your interests.

Indiana. Thank you all so much for your timely replys.
