Re: Debt relating to a deceased person
A copy of the death certificate with a brief cover letter of explanation should be sent to each of the creditors with a note to the effect that the deceased died without a will, had no assets or property of any note and therefore none such are available to pay any of his outstanding debts.
Obviously, in the above type of situation, no one
can be held responsible for paying any accounts which may have been sent for collection.
