[Diane J. Kiepe]

Jennifer,

While my facts were different then this, I have been involved with a do nothing estate.  Bank just took back the home on their own dime and moved on.

Hi All:

I don't come across many insolvent estates, and I read all of your combined advice from awhile back about no PR being appointed and waiting the 24 months to see if any creditor takes action.

No PR appointed and no one wanting to serve.  Is there any liability for abandoning the real property?  Quicken Loans had given deceased a big home equity loan last November to pay bills and the house is not worth the outstanding $189,000 mortgage.  None of his kids want anything to do with it.  The house is in such bad shape and with black mold and if demolished, the lot would be worth $30,000.

Can the kids do nothing?
