Q: My dad died and intestate in February. I haven't had the money to file for probate. He owe 7000 on his $70,000 home
He has the money in his savings account but even after I filed and got the EIN number the Bank says I still can't use it to pay off the house. I can't keep paying these payments what can I do
A: IF YOU FILED THE PROBATE AND WAS APPOINTED AS THE PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ESTATE, you should be able to access the bank funds to make the payments. Talk to the bank again or better yet have your attorney talk to them.
