Well, whomever's name is on the mortgage. If she is on the mortgage, and she wants to keep living there, and not have her credit ruined, then she is. The estate may not have the money. It also has the option of letting the house go into foreclosure.What is the name of your state? Kansas
Hello, I my sister-in-law, from Kansas was recently divorced and her ex agreed to pay the 2nd mortgage on the house. He has now passed away; who is responsible for paying the 2nd mortgage? His estate???
Thanks al
I agree, however she should certainly at least try to go after the estate for the debt.Well, whomever's name is on the mortgage.

There's no harm in trying. You are correct.I agree, however she should certainly at least try to go after the estate for the debt.
She needs to file a claim with the estate yesterday.How does she go after the estate. Her ex died in Idaho. He is retired military and received quite a large pension from such.
Thanks, Al
How long were they married? Did she receive any life insurance in the divorce? Any share of his retirement?How does she go after the estate. Her ex died in Idaho. He is retired military and received quite a large pension from such.
Thanks, Al
I understand that. But sometime there is language that requires a certain retirement account have a given individual named as beneficiaryHis pension probably has a bene. Therefore, would pass outside of the estate.
