What if you owed money to a decedent but you are one of two heirs and the other heir is living in the decedent's house?

If the debt is evidenced by a promissory note or some other proof of how much you owe the decedent then the debt is owed to the estate. The two heirs generally share equally in the estate. You two should negotiate an arrangement that takes into consideration the money owed and the benefit of living in the inherited premises. You should consult with the attorney who is handling the estate for help in executing a written agreement regarding the property. In order for title to real estate to pass to the heirs legally, the estate must be probated.
