Q: In P.R., can a bank foreclosing on a dead mother's home go after the children if they don't want any part of the home?
The bank is saying the five living sister's are responsible for the bank note even though no one lives there or wants the home.
A: Good evening and thank you for using JUSTIA. Yes the bank can file suit against all the inheritors. However the inheritors can contact the bank and inform them that the inheritors do not accept the inheritance thus they will not be responsible for the note. The bank will then inform you on how to go about resigning the inheritance.
