her children.
If there is no living spouse, the children are responsible. If the daughter is the only child, it is her responsibility. In return for raising children and the expenses associated with it, I would think the least a parent could expect is for their child to pay for their funeral.
the estate of the deceased pays for the funeral. what is left after expences is what is inheireted.
The estate of the deceased is responsible for the debt.
Mother Teresa's funeral was held on 13 Sep 1997 in CALCUTTA, India
Typically they are no responsible. However, the estate has to resolve it before making a distribution.
Not if the mother is in the childern's lives. If you married the father then the children cme along too, you are now the step-mother and have to take that responsibility if it is given to you.
Your mother's estate is responsible for her credit card debt.
Her funeral was held at Netaji Stadium in Calcutta, India.
The father does, since the mother is paying her share towards the children in the form of child support.
The beneficiary on the policy to you (assuming you don't have any financial obligations directly related to your father's death) is free and clear. Unfortunately for the mother, she's now responsible for the debt of the funeral, but depending on the value of your father's estate, the estate could be sold and help offset the cost of the funeral expenses. Otherwise, both policies are capital gain income, and post taxes they are the property of the beneficiaries.
It is the duty of the mother as she has the care and control of the child.
