Re: unsecured or credit card debit
The creditors can go after the estate but not the beneficiary. If the pension fund passed by means other than the estate it may escape the clutches of the creditors. A lot will depend on who the adult child is to get the money.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
