My Mum Died now Eon want me to pay her bill

[Deleted User]

Hi, take it from me that the debt has ceased . My Mum died in a similar position 2 years ago with approx £16000 debt and many debtors, including all the utilities, and I can confirm that the debts are all written off if there is no estate. I was executor and it was a straightforward thing to deal with. Copy of death certificate, or photo copy was enough to stop the baying mob at the doorstep. What estate there was left amounted to the value of the furniture etc which went towards the funeral costs. Also the local council will pick up the funeral costs if the working sons and daughters cant, or wont, fund the funeral costs .DHSS fund the costs if all the sons/daughters are on benefits
It would not matter if you were living there at the time. You will be liable of course for all the bills from the date your mum died, you can PM me if you want any more advice

Thanks for all your replies.

I think the way the tenancy was set-up with the Housing Association, I was (somehow) ensured of succeeding as the tenant should my Mum die, so I would imagine I'd be named, somewhere. Also, definitely on the electoral roll.

Capyboppy - don't worry, it is 100% true, I am next to clueless on computers. I also suspect you may be right and that this bill is in a different category to the other liabilities outstanding at the date of her death.

As for the other debts, Sasquacco is right. Including the insurer who considered whether to pursue a FIVE POUND debt. I wish they had. It was RIAS, by the way. Scum. But thanks for your reply and for the offer of a PM, I *think* I should be okay.

You are all very kind people!!
