Will My Family Have To Pay My Debts When I Pass?

As we get older, we tend to think of things that we never found ourselves thinking about in the past. Questions like “Will my family have to pay my debts when I pass?” are often asked as we reach retirement. Unfortunately however, the answer isn't quite that clear when we do a search online. Some articles say yes and some say no. Another unfortunate part of this is that many articles I've read on this topic have misinformation all through them. So, without further ado, here is the REAL answer you've been looking for... 

Will My Family Have To Pay My Debts When I Pass? 

The bottom line is that you and you alone own and owe your debts. However, the topic gets a bit interesting when an estate is taken into consideration. If you have anything of monetary value to your name when all is said and done, this is also something that you own. Because you own your debts, your estate may be used to pay our debts before it is passed on to your family. Therefore, when you pass, if you have more debt than you do monetary value in your estate, chances are, nothing will be left for your family. However, this is a topic that is best addressed with an estate planning attorney or another estate planning expert. 

How To Pay Your Debts Quickly And Protect Your Estate 

Chances are, if you are reading this article, you may not have too much time left to plan for leaving something behind for your family. However, it's never too late to protect your estate by paying off your debts. Here are a couple ways that you can do that while avoiding debt scams... 

Option #1 – Financial Hardship Programs 

Due to recent economic hard times, many lenders have started to offer financial hardship programs. When it comes to credit cards, these programs are often called balance liquidation programs. When it comes to mortgages, these programs can be referred to as mortgage modifications. No matter what type of debt you are dealing with, chances are, your lender has an option that will help. All you will need to do is give your lender a call to find out if they are willing to help and how much they will help. However, it's important to remember that financial hardship programs may take years to pay off. Therefore, if you feel as though you don't have this time, you may want to consider debt settlement. 

Option #2 – Debt Settlements 

Although, I don't generally advise debt settlement because of the incredibly negative repercussions it can have on credit scores, in cases where consumers only have a year or two to pay their debts off completely, this is a viable option. When you enroll into a debt settlement program, your representative will help to create a payment plan that will meet your goals. As you make payments, they will not be given to the lender. Instead, they are held in a special purpose savings account until there is enough money to settle a debt. At that point, the debt settlement company you choose will negotiate the amount of debt owed with the lender and settle it for a lesser amount. 

The Bottom Line 

Although your family will not be held liable for your debts, it's important to remember that your estate will pay your debts before anything will be left for your family. With that said, if you feel as though you don't have much time left, it's always best to start aggressively paying down your debts. This way, your estate will be left to your family and not to pay your financial obligations!

Slip and Fall Doesn't Just Happen at Walmart

If you are a small business owner or a contractor, and the slow economy and increasing general liability insurance premiums have you considering dropping your liability insurance, you may want to reconsider. Although many small business people think slip and fall lawsuits are the sort of things that just happen to companies like Walmart, the evidence suggests a growing trend in slip and fall claims against smaller businesses in retail, hospitality, the building sector and food services.

The National Safety Council says that approximately 25,000 people every day are involved in slip and fall accidents, and the annual expense of these accidents is over $30 billion per year. Wausau Insurance data suggests the average cost of a slip and fall related injury is in excess of $12,000.

And it's not just customers who are filing claims. According to Liberty Mutual 65% of all lost work days are a result of slip and fall accidents, and the leading cause of employee injury in the food service industry is slipping and falling.

Whilst the most high profile cases involve national brand companies, such as the case of Sharon Jasper, a New Orleans woman who sued Walmart in February 2013, claiming she sustained injuries in a slip and fall accident, the majority of cases don't even make it to trial, with settlements occurring out of court.

Although liability insurance quotes appear to stretch the bottom line for many businesses, they are insignificant when compared to the awards handed out for slip and fall accidents. According to the National Floor Safety Institute whilst a retail or supermarket fall averages $50,000 in awards, this amount rises to $78,000 in the building industry and $86,000 in the food service sector. This can affect not only small building contractors but also mom-and-pop restaurants who may be considering dropping their general liability insurance in difficult economic times.

However the National Safety Council suggests the average restaurant has 3 to 9 slip and fall accident every year, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics says that slip and falls are the primary cause of accidents in restaurants, hotels and public buildings, with 70% of these accidents happening on a level surface.

According to attorney Bruce Hagan, the law provides for a concept known as premises liability, in that the owners and businesses have a duty to provide a safe environment. This provision of safety doesn't just include customers and employees, but also extends to subcontractors and visitors.

And even small businesses that think they will win lawsuits against them can find themselves in for a rude shock, such as the case of the Boynton Beach movie theater that won a slip and fall case against a patron in February 2013. The company won the case but was still responsible for its own legal costs, and according to the National Flooring Safety Institute the average cost to defend a slip and fall lawsuit is $50,000, an amount that could put many businesses out of business altogether, making liability insurance quotes, which can easily be less than 10% of the cost of defending a single lawsuit, look like a worthwhile investment.
