This is a very real issue for me. My father has accumulated a fairly large debt due to his gambling. I realize I'm probably not going to get a damn thing for an inheritance... except tens of thousands of dollars of debt.
If my father were to die first, my mother would have to deal with it. She'd either have to sell the house to pay off his debt, or declare bankruptcy.
Now, if my mother were to die before my father, he'd probably move into a senior citizen's home, sell the house, and put the money into a slot machine hoping to win the big one. He'd most likely ignore the debt he has already accumulated.
Then, when he dies, I inherit his debt. I really don't feel that I should have to pay for his stupid ass mistakes.
Have any of you ever dealt with, or are dealing with this situation? What are some of the possibilities to avoid inheriting this 5hit plus paying for the damn funeral?
Hell, I'd be happy just burying him in an irrigation ditch somewhere.
Just as a side note, neither of them have living wills.
