My Mother passed away in January 2000 in Ohio. Her estate is in probate and there were several bills that are to be paid out of her estate. One particular bill I have a question about is a credit card company. When I filed with the probate I was told the creditors had 1 year to file a claim against the estate or they would not get paid. This credit card company had a balance of more than 10,000 and they have sent no bill and will not reply to mail from the lawyer to even acknowledge the balance owed. He has repeatedly contacted them with no response at all. The estate is on hold until we find out something from them and it has been 20 months now! The lawyer is telling me this company can come back years from now and sue the heirs for this bill.
Isn't there a law on the amount of time a creditor has to collect their money or even to acknowledge the bill is due when someone passes away?
