I realize I'm asking this on the internet. I have no expectations of any lawyers giving me specific legal advice. But any info is greatly appreciated.
Friend of ours mom passed a way. No will, left a house with a mortgage on it. No other family members names on the deed.
What happens to the house? Kin isn't responsible for the loan as long as they didn't co-sign, correct?
Lady was a hoarder in a way, QVC's fault.
Basement is full of items that have never been opened.
Lots of other stuff through out the house.
Our friend is the last one in the family tree, has no money, mom didn't leave any money.
Can't afford to take off work to deal with much hands on issue's such as clearing out the house.
What is the friends obligations at this point? How quickly must any issue's be resolved?
I'm thinking an estate auction is a viable option.
Thoughts?
