Q: I'm administrator for my mother's estate. A collection agency put in a claim against it but I cannot contact who I need.
When I call, they say I "have" to speak with Kathy, who is in charge of estate claims; no one else can help me. I've called many times, left messages on every one of those calls and never had a return call. I am going to try a certified letter, but have no idea if it will reach the right person since they will not give me "Kathy's" last name.
Any suggestion or help would be much appreciated.
A: Is the claim properly filed against the Estate? If not, or there other defenses, it is your duty to contest the claim in Court. Your objection can be served at the given address. If a legitimate claim, then pay it prior to asking to close the Estate, and get a receipt. Hire a WV attorney to help you with this Estate.
