You have many valid questions which need to be answered. I would be happy to discuss with you. Contact me at kliszlaw.com to get started. Tim Klisz
Who you contact depends on the bill and the ramifications. For example, many mortgages have a due on death clause, so once you tell them that he is gone, they will probably want all of the outstanding mortgage paid immediately. If he has no money and no assets, it may not matter to you and you may not want to bother contacting anyone. Any bills you did not agree to be responsible for, will not be your obligation.
