I am the executor of my mothers will. She died about 7 months ago and left behind a very modest house that was paid for and an old car. She had not a lot of debt and just a couple of credit cards.
I received a call today on my cell from someone representing themselves as collecting for Capital One. I didn't stay on the line very long as I was driving so I didn't get whether she was a collection agency or actually worked for Capital One. She said my mother owed a little over a thousand dollars. I told her to call back but I dont know if I should answer. Unfortunately I told her that I was the representative of the estate.
My mother passed her house to my brother in her will though we have not probated the will yet. To tell you the truth I've been debating even doing it. The house is valued at about 40,000 and thats pretty much all she had and she wanted it passed on to her adult child that has lived with her for years, so theres been no disruption to his life and mine is fine without the headache of probating the will.
What to do?
