What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
My father was self employed before recently passing away. He had worker's compensation (New York State Insurance Fund) for his employee. They are now calling and sending letters to my mother to have her pay the outstanding balance on the account. She has just recently received a letter from a collections agency regarding this account as well. All correspondence is in my father's name. Being that he is now deceased, my mother should not be responsible for this account, correct? How can she have them stop contacting her and sending letters? My mother has repeatedly informed them via telephone, email and written correspondence, she has also sent a copy of the death certificate, that he is deceased. He left no will and did not have life insurance. What more does she need to do to close his account?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
