Legal Question in Consumer Law in California
Balance on bill of sale
I drew up a simple ''bill of sale.'' I agreed to purchase some equipment with half down and a payment plan for the balance. Title of equipment is already in my name. Seller died before the 1st payment. Ethically I feel I should pay but am I still legally liable to payoff the balance? Seller was young and died without a will.

Re: Balance on bill of sale
If you don't know the name of the administrator, write to the seller's last-known address and request the name of the estate's administrator. Perhaps the letter will be forwarded. You might also check court records in the county or state, to see if the seller's estate is being probated.

Yes, you are still obligated to pay the balance. You now owe the balance to the estate of the deceased. Follow Mr. Cohen's advice.
