My mom passed away in August, 2000. She left a will and named an executor. The problem is the bills that we , her children and her estate, are left to pay. We know that we are responsible for some of the bills, but are her credit cards considered to be payable by us? Can a credit card company sue us so soon after her death? What about her medical expenses? She died of pancreatic cancer at age 73 and had used her credit cards mostly to pay for her costly prescriptions. She was also on Medicare but we have received numerous bills since her death and they are quite high. My mother owned her own home but had little else to her name. Her children (6 daughters and 1 son) have tried to handle her finances but we wondered what bils we were liable for and what ones (hopefully) we are not liable for? Although we loved our mother dearly, we don't have thousands of dollars to pay off her debts or we would have. We want to keep her house because it is the family home, but if the bills keep mounting, we won't be able to afford to do so. We may have to sell it to pay off her debts. I could sure use some information on this. We live in Baltimore, Maryland.
Thanks!!
