deceased mother's debt

shaeconnor · #1 Mar 6, 2007, 09:40 PM

I have been reading that I am not responsible for the debt but any assets have to be used to pay for debt. My mother had had no will. Does the assets include the income tax return money and any money received from a state retirement plan? Also, do we have to contact creditors to tell them she is deceased?

Yes, Yes, and the executor of the estate should, which could very well be you.
