death and debt

[ibsassy3]

What is the name of your state? Hawaii

I live in the State of Hawaii; 45 yo female, single mother of a 17 yo. I will be having elective surgery soon and in the process of updating all legal issues. Question: should I die with death, is my daughter (heir/ beneficiary) liable for any debt I may owe at the time of my death?

 

[lwpat]

No but your estate is.

 

[ibsassy3]

Thank you for your response. I now need to find a way to exempt my estate from debt. Is that possible?

Yes, it is possible. Pay off the debt while you are alive.
