Individual beneficiaries of a will, or heirs of an estate, are liable for the debts of the estate to the extent they inherit. All of the decedent's creditors should be notified. You will need to decide if you need a new will. This lets someone you trust handle your financial affairs. Many recent widows or widowers find it helpful to talk to others who understand what they are going through.
Many programs give help and support to the newly widowed.
If you retain us to help with administration, we will supply these contacts.
