You should have an attorney review the document as it is easy to assume there is no termination date mentioned when there is - unfortunately, an attorney will not be able to answer this question online.
An insurance company is asking a settlement amount for a family member who is on their deathbed. If the settlement isn’t paid they will be sued for the full amount. If they die what happens to that debt?
