[WSBAPT] Credit Card Solutions

[Amy Goertz]

Good morning all –

 

I have a new client whose husband of 30+ years recently passed away.  They
were married, living together, and not in the process of divorce.  They
had no estate planning – i.e., no community or separate property
agreements, no wills, etc.  She has now discovered that he had a credit
card in his own name with an outstanding balance of $35,000.  Any thoughts
on how to handle this other than sending them a Notice to Creditors and
forcing them to file a creditor claim?

 

Thanks in advance –
