What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Kentucky Okay let me see, this is kind of long but I will try and shorten it for you. My mother in law passed away, but before she did she cosigned for a car for my nephew and she also thought she was cosigning for a mobile home. However, the bank put her name on the loan first. The nephew has been paying for both for at least the last 2 years. He has talked to the bank and they have told him they are putting a claim in on both the car and the mobile home with the estate. So now that he knows the estate is going to have to pay for them he is not even trying to get either one refinanced. So now he is really happy that everything he has will be paid for.
So my question is can the executor of the estate refuse to pay these bills because they are not her bills. It can be proven that he has been paying these bills for the last 3 years on mobile home and 2 1/2 years on the car. However, if the estate has to pay for these items do they become the property of the estate. Her name is first on the mobile home and his is second. Her name is not on the car at all.
I have read in the Kentucky Revised Statutes that bills can be refused but it does not explain any circumstances, and I can't find anywhere to find what some of the circumstances would be.
Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated. Thanking all who respond in advance.
