generally speaking, if some one such as a creditor sues you to recover what is asked for in the summons and complaint. Your appearance is mandatory, unless you want to let the plaintiff to win by default, and gets everything he can convince the Judge he is entitled to by whatever proof is presented in court. Its never a good idea to just NOT appear. if you do not believe you can offer testimony to lessen the damages he is seeking, do what you will. why would you consider not going?? you think he'll win anyway? what if he says things that you can contest, but was not there, so he gets it all, like it or not!!!

Your brother died tragically your son inherits his estate estate has to be run by an executor until son turns 21 2 and a half yrs Over 100000 in credit card debt What do you do?
After the applicable statute of limitations runs (typically four years on a credit card debt), the creditor will have a tough time collecting. If the creditor sues, you have to plead statute of limitations as an affirmative defense, but it is a good defense. ==Additional Answer== In some states there is a specific statutory period during which a creditor can make a claim against an estate. In Massachusetts, for example, once an estate has been filed for probate a creditor has one year to make a claim. After that period the creditor is barred from trying to collect from the estate. Check your state laws. If there is an executor then the estate must have been filed in probate court. If the creditor has already filed a claim against the estate in probate court then the claim will need to be paid before any disbursements are made from the assets of the estate. The creditor will not need to bring suit to collect and the claim filed will preserve its right to collect.
