So the basic idea is in the post. I can’t afford a lawyer, so I’m taking to the Internet for advice here.
I’m in Louisiana. My mom passed away on Friday and left behind a small piece of land with her mobile home on it. She owed a few thousand dollars on the property and paid a mortgage note on it every month, which I will inherit soon through succession. It’s not much, but I’d like to keep the house and land, renovate, and rent it out for some side income.
Mom left behind a few medical bills (not sure the total of which yet, it’s not a crazy amount). I’m aware that bill collectors will attempt to seize the estate’s assets after one’s death and sell it in order to recover debts, but I’d ideally like to see if I can get these paid myself in order to keep the property.
What’s the best way to go about doing this? I have never done anything like this before, so any advice AT ALL would be a tremendous help. I might not even be posting in the right place, or asking the right questions here, but I could really use a hand.
Thanks for y’all’s time in advance.
