Q: Family member passed away with written Will left house with mortgage to my mother
The problem I’m facing the house became delinquent I had the money to make the payment but the bank would not accept the payment saying they have to have paperwork saying that I am the executor of the Estate i’m worried that I can’t get this taken care of in a timely manner before my house is foreclosed on
They will was written notarized and filed at the courthouse. Everything was left to my mother which was a house empty lot her bank account and car
Will I need to go to probate or can I just go to the courthouse and be appointed executor
A: Your facts do not make sense. But if you started a Probate, which may have not been necessary, then you should be getting your Letters Testamentary from Probate Court. Call the Court today. This will be your authority to act on behalf of the Estate. Insurance and Taxes have to be paid also.
