Background: Father recently died in Ohio. He and I were close but we didn’t share any sort of money, accounts, property, etc. He has to his name:
$1800 in a checking account
A car worth probably $10k but it still has a $7k lien on it, which I have no interest in
Roughly $40k in IRS debt
Another $3k in state income tax debt
I would estimate about $2k in medical debt
He had no will, no POD/TOD on anything.
I know the location of where his car currently is and I know that Kia Finance is probably going to repossess soon (he didn’t make any car payments the final three months of his life)
There’s no reason to do any sort of probate right? It’s probably just easier to just let them repo the car, and I not go through the headache for essentially no “inheritance” right?
