Hi,
Without disclosing too much info, here is the situation...
My mother recently passed away and lived in a Mitchell Lama apartment. My loving mother did not have a will and she didn't leave anything of great value behind but left behind about $15,000 in credit card debt. She was divorced from my father who is still around, so no one in the family is liable for that debt. The companies are trying to collect on her debt now, but the only thing I can see that they go after in her estate is the equity of the apartment which is not even half the credit card debt.
My questions are:
Can the credit card companies go after the apartment, which I guess will mean the we relinquish any rights to it?
And what should I, or can I do, to make sure that they do not go after the apartment?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!!
