No. If an Executor takes out a loan it has nothing to do with the estate he is executing.
The executor doesn't borrow money to pay off heirs. They get paid from the remaining estate, according to the provisions in the will, after the debts have been paid. If there is nothing left then the heirs get nothing. As to "how long", it depends on how complicated the situation is; an executor is expected to act in good faith with all reasonable and prudent speed, but the law does not require that the executor work miracles. If a substantial part of the estate is non-liquid assets, it could legitimately take longer for the estate to settle than if it were primarily cash.
Or you have to sell the car and settle the loan.
The executor is required to preserve the estate. That may require a loan modification. They can also sell the property.
that depends on whether it is paid off or still has a loan/lean on it. if it is paid off, it must be willed to somebody, or it can be purchased from the estate. if it has a loan on it it can either be givin back to the lender, or the loan can be taken over by the executor of estate. if it is to be bought form the estate it must be sold by the executor of estate. if it is willed to a person and it is paid off you simply have to do the paperwork to make it legally yours. in any case, the best person to discuss this with is the executor of estate, or the deceased's lawyer. they can handle or guide you to your options. just an fyi, the executor is essentially somebody who has power of attorney. they are typically the widow, or somebody appointed in the will.
Heirs pay loan or bank takes car.
One can obtain a probate loan if he or she is expecting an inheritance. The heirs can ask for money in advance which can be deducted from the amount of inherited assets. The probate attorney will see to it that the heirs get this probate loan.
If your deceased father had a home equity loan are the heirs now responsible for paying it off IF THEY SELL THE HOME?
You still owed the money. The executor can ask you to pay back the loan. They can also credit it to any inheritence you may receive.
The heirs are not legally responsible for paying the loan. However, if they want to keep the property the loan must be paid or the lender will take possession of the property by foreclosure.
If there is written evidence of the loan and your mother didn't cancel it in her will then it may be an issue. If there are other beneficiaries who will all share in the estate the loan amount should come out of your brother's share unless the other heirs agree voluntarily to cancel the debt. You should seek advice from the attorney who is handling the estate.
In order to transfer the real estate, they will have to have an estate and someone with authority to sell the property. The executor could take a loan out against the property to resolve the debts or to cover costs until sale.
If you are the executor and heir to an estate with no will, you can you take a loan against the said estate property, but not right away. Lenders typically will not give you a loan on a piece of property until it is in your name.
