Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in South Dakota
father-in-law funeral costs with lien
My father-in-law has no plans for his funeral. His wife had a county paid funeral. We believe then there is a lien against his home. How will his funeral be paid?

Re: father-in-law funeral costs with lien
The same process will probably occur for your father. If he is going to have a "county" paid funeral and there is no other source of funds (i.e. life insurance, savings, prepaid burial fund) the county will place a lien on the property he holds title and at his death they will enforce the lien and get paid from the sale of the house or other property where there is a lien.
