That’s interesting because here in canada I still get calls regarding my husbands debt whilst my MIL is sitting on all of the money! Please don’t ask :/
It is to my assumption mortgages and car loans and funeral expenses are first to get paid, some of those are things that can still be of value and money made from. Small debts are usually just a case of informing the debtor that B is deceased and sometimes they will ask for the certificate of the death and write the debt off.
Fortunatley you don’t have to deal with fraudulent, manipulative, family member A, that you thought you could trust and lead you to believe something else while seamlessly taking everything over then A and A’s lawyer state you are not of sound, mind or body to take over what was rightfully yours to begin with, thus forcing you to live under the Cinderella clause where mother in law plays the role of the step mom sigh
Now that you know I’ll put in place the do not ask clause :/
