Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
My brother passed away, and foolishly did not have a beneficiary on his life insurance policy. The insurance company made my mother file for probate in order to pay the policy. Is she now responsible for his bills because of that?

His estate is. Creditors must be paid before heirs.
