got enough of my own.

could she have just let the car go? Is that an option at all, or do you pretty much have to assume the debt because you're next of kin?

My grandfather died several years ago....i think 5....I still see mail coming to my parents house in his name. I'm assuming it's utility bills and stuff...scared to even ask....

This is my biggest worry honestly. Either option is going to cost money. And i'm the only sibling (out of 4) that is really in any position to be able to fund whatever it would take to settle this up.

>My dad didn't have any debts either besides utilities. I think
>you can send a copy of the death certificate and they just

if this is true, this would be helpful indeed. I guess I got to research it for myself. I just don't even know how to approach asking my folks how much debt their in.

>My grandfather had mad property and a nice amount of money and
>he told my mom if he knew the govt would take this much he
>would have spent more while he was younger.

Same here...and they squandered the shit out of it, and fcked it all up....don't even get me started.. smh....
