What happens after death.
Not sure if the first time I asked this if it went thru....
What happens after a person dies(in the stae of Maine) to their debt? Is the family responsible for the debt? Does that vary state to state? I would appreciate any help. Thanks so much.

The estate is used to pay any outstanding debts. If there is not enough to cover the debt, then there is nothing to do. The family is not responsible.

In general as scott mentioned, except for man and wife, if the person dies, his property, money in the bank, his car are all part of the estate

So the bills are paid from that, if needed the house and other property would be sold to pay these bills. After all of the estate is gone, if there are still bills, they just don't get paid. The state would have rules as to which bills need to be paid first.
