My husbands mother passed away in a nursing home.
My husband died in May of 09. Hi mother was living in a nursing home at the time. I had power of attorney because I handled all of her medicaid issues. She had an annuity that she bought years ago to pay for her funeral. I had that annuity set up with the funeral home as an irrevocable will to bury her with it. She passed away in May 2010. She had a sears credit card that she had not paid on for 5 years because all of her SS went to the nursing home. Creditors have continued to sell her debt between many agencies. Now I have a new agency calling me 3 times per day. They sent me a letter stating they should be paid out of her estate. Because the funeral home was sent the check from the annuity, they paid their fees and divided the remaining amount between my husbands brothers which was only $800. Can they continue to contact me about this, and does she really still owe this debt? I have continued to ignore their calls and will continue to until they sell it again.
