<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt">Can the kids do nothing?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
