I am in California. My dad passed away, and I have power of attorney. Prior to his death, I was made co-owner of his home, upon his death I became 100% owner (this is standard policy for the retirement community he lived in). He also had a life insurance policy to help cover funeral expenses. This is all of his assets, and less than $100,000 total. I have just found out that he has some credit card debt. Do the house and the life insurance fall under "his estate" that the credit companies can collect from? Can 100% of the house be liable as I was co-owner? PLEASE help!
