A woman on TikTok is asking for help because after Carnival Cruise refused to refund her parents' trip after her mom died.
Big ole business just itching to get more money from people's grief.. until they're called out in front of enough people online.
You're viewing a single thread.
I mean the mother signed a contract? there's a "classic" case that if an old person ordered a stair lift and then died before construction started the heirs will still have to pay for that.
It's just that you inherit not just the values but also the obligations as shitty as it might be
and that she apparently didn't even send them the death-certificate before going to the media makes this just drip from big Karen-energy...
the heirs will still have to pay for that.
I don't think you can sign your children into a contract of any kind. If there's money they're inheriting the estate would have to pay contracts before the heirs in some cases but if there's no money to be had I don't think the kids are on the hook for anything.
The quick way around this is to be in debt to your kids!

That's not true, and it's definitely not a "classic" case.

Where did you get this information? It's not part of US law, at the very least.
At least it's that way in Germany
My father died 2 years ago and my sister and I had to pay for construction at the house he signed off a month before his death even though we didn't want that and both our lawyers said there's no way to get out of that unless you deny the whole inheritance
You're talking about inheritance though. Inheritance also works likes that in the US as well. But inheritance is a whole different can of worms legally than what is being talked about in the article and even then what debt does and doesn't get passed on is fuzzy. Sorry about your loss though
