I don't understand how it could take years to settle outstanding bills...
My relative got all of the bills and would (after the persons death) send them to the attorney to be paid. There hasn't been a bill for about 6 months.
I mean once someone is dead and whatever bill is paid, you don't create any new expenses or bills no?
I would think there is some sort of official process for doing this having to do with the obituary and death certificate or something? Like after X months an estate can be settled and all outstanding bills from people who weren't on the ball to make their claim within X months are ass out.
1-2 years to handle the business of a dead person who had mostly cash, stocks & bonds (that were liquidated early on) just doesn't seem right to me.
