SOL's do not apply to deceased persons. When a person dies all their assets, property and debts are entered into probate. Assets and property which are not exempted under state law are used to pay debts in accordance to their priority. It is the duty of the executor of the estate to inform all creditors of the probate filing. Creditors then have a specified amount of time as established by state law to file a claim against the deceased's estate.

∙ 15y agomy husband, before we got married, purschased a horriblw trailerhouse thru Greentree. He had it for maybe a year and the thing was litterly falling apart. We wrote and called the company several times to get them to come and get the trailer. I also took photos of the cardboard walls and the silicone stips that held the walls in place, and other things that was wrong. I sent certified letters as well. Finally months later they came and picked up the trailer, this was in 1995 or 1996. They are still trying to make us pay for that piece of junk. we recently got a letter from an attorney saying that they are giving us 30 days to dispute this charge. Is there anything we can do and isn't there a statute on the time it has been? Please help us. Thanks
