Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in North Carolina
Foreclosure sales
My mom recently passed she was 83.
Ived lived with her for yrs. I was
contacted by Mann Bracket that my
mom has an outstanding balance from
Bank Of America of 8000.00 they
asked me to pay up. Her insurance
was really nothing. I paid for funeral
and money was gone. I don't have
8000.00 BBT is the mortgage holder.
They have a lien on the house. This
people (Mann) told me they were
going to force the sell of this house to
pay the bill. Can they do this?
Thanks in advance for your feedback

Re: Foreclosure sales
Consult with an attorney. I can't tell from your facts. Usually, you would not be responsible for your mom's debts. There may be things you need to do as an executor/administrator of your mom's estate. If they have a lien on property already, then they may be able to foreclose. Consult with an attorney in your area.
