how long can you leave house in deceased name
Normally there is a will, stating who will inherit the house. Whoever inherits the house will be responsible for it. If there is no will, the courts will decide.
since the deed is in joint tenancy,to my understanding, the deceased name will come off the property once the death certificate is recorded in that county for the deceased,if I am understanding the question right.If the house is in foreclosure,the first person with the first lien against the property will be paid first at the time of the actual sale of the property.
Not directly, but indirectly. If you are the executor of the estate, yes, insomuch as there are assets to pay them with. If the debts exceed the assets, you may have to sell the house or other assets.
The debts of the deceased are the responsibility of the descesed's estate. The estate must resolve the debts before any money goes to the heirs. Consult a probate attorney in your jurisdiction for help. From your question it would appear that your husband died without leaving any money or property, if this is the case then there would be no money available to settle debts. However, if your hsband and you shared ownwrship of your house then his half of the house would be liable to settle these debts. If you are in problems the best course of action is to see an attorney.
It is the deceased husband's name that needs to be removed from the deed. Contact the local court house to find out what you must do to claim the property in your name alone. Usually you can file a copy of the death certificate.
What did the will say? Is there a will? The executor is responsible for maintaining and disposing of the estate. The executor can, if it makes sense, rent the home to someone. Once the estate is settled, whomever gets the property has the ability to do what they wish.
yup
Do you have to pay taxes on deceased mother's house when it sells
The estate is responsible for the debts of the deceased. If there are no assets in the estate, the debtors are not going to be able to collect. This can be challenging. If the deceased owned a house, the house would be sold to pay the debts. Cars, bonds, stocksand other personal property could also be sold to come up with the money.
As long as the couple did not reside in a community property state and the spouse was not a joint account holder the spouse is not responsible. However depending on the probate laws of the resident state, a portion of the deceased's estate may be used to pay outstanding debt(s).
The children are not personally responsible for the bills, unless they co-signed them. However, the estate is responsible. Which means that the estate may be depleted and a lien placed on the house. The children may not inherit anything.
