Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
small estate affidavit
if you file for a small estate, how do
you pay the bills? There is about
25,000 in stocks, 6,000 in the bank
& a final paycheck plus a car & a
motorcycle but about 45,000 in debt
plus whatever amount the bank will
ask for due to house foreclosed.
thanks.

Re: small estate affidavit
If the house is not yet foreclosed on, then it is still part of the estate. Regardless of the amount of debt, you have to account for the total value of the assets.
