Would i inherit my fathers debt?

[Jason25]

What is the name of your state? Arizona

I am 25 year old male.

I asked in a seperate forum if there was a way to disown my father even though i am an adult. The answer i got was NO.

that being answered, Would i inherit my fathers debt if he were to pass away?

If so, is there a way of blocking this from happening?

I am basically trying to cover all my bases of distancing my father legally and every way possible.

This has already been done physically, haven't seen him in 10 years and won't be seeing him again but i wish to seal the deal if neccessary legally. Thank you for any insight into the matter.

Thanks for the answer.

Now to another question, one of my brothers passed away a few years ago (he was 19 at the time). My father appeared out of the blue at the funeral parlor etc. and too my mothers dismay the state said that it was his right legally as the parent.

Is there a way of blocking this?

sorry for all the questions BTW but my father committed some horrible actions against one of my siblings as a child and i do not feel he should have any rights as a parent even though i am an adult.

I really don't know the answer to this question...There was a thread recently about if you can stop someone from coming to a funeral...But in that case it was the deceased bf...

What I would do is tell the Funeral Home to not allow him in..

Was your father every prosecuted for the abuse?

Not legal advice

But are your other family members supportive of your decision to discontinue relations with your father? Are you currently married or have any children? Are you particularly attached to your current last name?

If your answers are yes, no, no...how about having your name changed legally, and not inform dad (if you are sure that no one in the family would. This way if you pass, he wouldn't see your name in the obits.

Unfortunately, people in the extended family would notify him. Thats how he was notified before. Good tips though, sometimes things are complicated...thanks though to you both.

Well, it sounds like your main concern is that your mother not have to be in the same room with him at your funeral (since you don't have to worry about inheriting his debt). Sounds like the most prudent plan would be not to die before your mother.
