Borgy, there are few loopholes in the law, but you have a chance to clean up here, buddy. File a form 37 in the probate court and you will become the agent to collect all of the debts. You can keep 80% as your personal fee, and the other 20% goes to the estate.

It depends upon how long ago the parents died, how much the debt is, and a lot of other factors.





The simple answer is that if the parents died without a will, one of the legal heirs (on any other party with a financial interest) can file a petition to open a probate estate and request to be appointed the administrator of that estate. If the parents had a will, that will alter who can file the petition and may designate a person to serve as executor.





However, there are time limits for opening a probate estate as well as different rules based on the size of the estate.
