What is the name of your state? Washington State
This post will be long because it is a long story. My mom passed away unexpectedly on June 10, 2005. She was 56. There was an autopsy done. We are waiting still for results and certificate of death. That is a side issue. My question is my mom has 2 life insurances. One naming my brother and I as beneficiaries. The other my dad. My parents were still married at time of death. My dad however is 21 years older with severe Alzheimers in a geri/psych facility. Currently covered partially by Medicaid/Medicare the rest his pension checks.. My parents do not own anything except household goods of little value. No savings, no real estate (my mom lived in a house owned by my husband and I) My mother has left $40,000.00 in creditor debt, this is a community property state so I assume dad is still liable for her debts. The nursing home states that the state will take the insurance money for his care, which is fine but what about the bills?
