FAMILYFAMILY

OOver the years, I have received

many questions from clients

and others regarding estates. A

very common question is, Who will be

responsible for the debts of my parents

when they are gone?

This is most concerning when you

become aware that your parent(s) do

not have sufficient assets of their own

to pay their debts.

Children are not personally

responsible for their parents debts.

Your parents estate will be heldresponsible for his or her debts, and if

there are any assets left over after all

debts and expenses have been paid, the

heirs of his or her estate will receive

the remaining amount according to the

terms of his or her will, or according to

the laws of intestate distribution of the

state in which he or she resided at the

time of his or her death.

If there are insufficient liquid assets

within the estate to pay all debts and

expenses, then real estate (along with

any other non-liquid assets) will need

to be liquidated in order to pay such

debts and expenses.

Also, note that t he beneficiary of a

life insurance policy is typically not

responsible for paying the debts of the

decedent or the expenses of his or her

estate from the proceeds of the life

insurance policy. This is because the

proceeds are not part of the probate

estate. Attorneys Michelle T.L. Hernandez

and Dera L. Johnsen-Tracy of Krueger

and Hernandez SC are members of the

American Academy of Estate Planning

Attorneys and have extensive legal

experience in the area of estate planning.
