My father-in-law passed away last Sunday evening.
He is divorced from my mother-in-law, who continued to care for him until his death.
He had just recently (about one month ago) moved into an assisted living facility, still owning a small mobile home.
My questions are:
The will was old - it still listed my mother-in-law as the spouse. How do we handle executing this?
The mobile home was/is in shambles. It took us all week to clean it and it is uninhabitable. We have the title to it, and the mobile home park wants the title as he is behind in paying the lot rent. We have no problem giving them the mobile home, but what does the law say about it? Who would sign over the title?
How do we access his checking account? He never finished paying for his funeral expenses and his bills are not paid up to date. He has no real assets and the last checking account statement shows that he doesn't have enough money to pay for the remainder of the funeral expenses, the mobile home lot rent, credit card debt, telephone, electric, etc.
There are three children, all of whom are happy to allow my husband (the only child living in Florida near the father) handle all the details, but we arent; sure of what we can do or should (or shouldn't) do.
Thanks for any advice,
Becky
