Please note: As previously mentioned, I was the executor of my dad’s estate and was legally obligated to pay any debts on behalf of my father’s estate. This does not mean I paid any of his debts out of my own pocket. With that being said, not every circumstance is alike and it’s always wise to consult an attorney regarding the legal rights and obligations regarding a deceased loved one’s debts; remember that DCM Services is not looking out for your best interests.
