Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Michigan
My mother passed away on Easter leaving an account with her name and my name on it do I need to pay her remaining hospital bills and her Visa bill am I responsible for these since her name was on the account as well as mine
1 Answer from Attorneys
No you are not responsible. The joint account is yours upon your mother’s death. The only person/entity is your mother’s probate estate, if there is no Probate’s hen creditor does not get paid.
