    huh??
    If the home is still owned by the estate (surviving relative in charge of the money from dec. owner) then all fees must be paid by the estate
    if there is no liquid assests left by the dec. person then the surviving relative or executor/trix is responsible until the property is sold

    The only person responsible for the home is the spouse, assuming they were married when the home was purchased. The other way would be if one of the family members wanted the house and thus claimed it, then they would be responsible for it. Credit cards are notorious for asking family members to pay off the debt of a deceased one even though you have no legal obligation. They do, technically, have to tell you by law that you don't have to though.

    I would assume so. In this Country it seems as if no debt goes unpunished

    The family is responsible for the tax's and monthly payments (house payments if any) till the property is sold.

    What membership? They can't be a member anymore, (member).:)

    Oh, wait, another thing that matters is when the loan for the home was taken out, if there was a co-signer then he would become responsible for the loan. I don't know if that would make him have to pay the house bills as well though.
