[WSBAPT] Creditor's Options

[samuel at meylerlegal.com]

Listmates,

 

Here is the scenario: Decedent causes a car accident in 2016, admits fault
and enters into an agreement with the other/injured party's insurer to make
payments over time.  Decedent passes away on 8/17/2020.  Decedent was
married and wife continues to live in the family home which has equity in
it.  Probate was never opened.  What options does the insurer have to pursue
collection of the outstanding balance?  What procedures would the insurer
have to follow?  Thanks for your input.
