A: Let's try to uncomplicate these issues a little bit. Your ex wife had 2 kids with your father but was never married to him. He is now dead. Do I have this accurate so far? One of those children is 45 with grandchildren. Your ex is receiving what and why?

Identity theft. Get a credit report on yourself. Notify the creditors that should not be on there and the police, as well as the credit bureaus.
