In Arizona.
My ex wife's parents live in a nursing home and she's afraid for them in the pandemic. How does the probate work if they die on different days but within the same month? Do they have to go through two probates? They haven't filed taxes for 2019 yet but most likely do not owe as they are under 24k combined. No pensions or anything. My ex wife covers the nursing home costs that Medicare doesn't at their facility.
They have little assets (1k) in bank accounts from SSI
They have an IRS lien from a few years back for 5k roughly
They have credit card debts in default and closed of 15k - think they have been written off by now.
Is my ex wife going to be responsible for their IRS debt? She seems to think it transfers to her and I can't find anything that says other.
Thanks
