There should be no reason that the executor can't request validation. In most cases the debts of the deceased, including funeral expenses, are the responsibility of the estate. The estate, or its beneficiary should reimburse any valid debtors before giving any of the assets away. Consult a probate attorney in your jurisdiction for help.

A collection is required to notify the person of their right to have the debt validated. If you did not request a confirmation within the specified time (30 days) the debt is presumed valid and collectible. You will need to present proof that this is not your debt, such as cancelled check showing it was paid. Or whatever possible to substantiate your claim. When receiving a debt notification the consumer should ALWAYS request validation.
