The probate code would explain the process for closing an estate.
It sounds as if you're not legally responsible for the deceased client.
death
No one. In that case the debters are SOL (although I believe they may be able to seize the deceased persons assets and sell them all to pay off as much of the debt as possible)
Wake them up and ask them!
No, DNA can be taken from deceased persons.
Marriage is a contract. A deceased person does not have the legal capacity to willingly enter into any contracts.
yes the funeral home usually does a deceased persons nails,and hair and general grooming to get them ready for their "showing"
no
Your local police department
If they have the letter of authority, yes.
Not unless they were guarantors of the debt.
Because the property was not owned outright by the deceased persons being willed the property are responsible for the debt attached as well. If they do not want to take the financial responsibility of paying the debt or selling the property they can allow it to be included in the probate procedure and therefore are not responsible for foreclosure or other litigation connected to it. yes, you are responsible otherwise you lose the house you don not get it free just because someone dies. only the person named as heir to the house has to pay. just did this.
