<prompt> Human: My father in law is dying, he is in rough shape and has most likely a couple of months to live if that. We his Son and I have been paying for his expenses ever since he got sick October 2017. This includes his mortgage, car payment, car insurance, and various amounts of credit card and medical bills. All the credit cards and medical bills I have been making minimum monthly payments on- total bills end up being around 3,000 a month.We tried all treatments, unfortunately his cancer did not respond and his time is running out. We have been fortunate in life by working hard and having two well paying jobs, as well as running a successful small business. We are currently under contract to sell his house. That closes on May 1st, our plan is if it closes before he dies to take out the amount we have been paying and split the remainder between my SO and his brother.My question is- should we continue paying his CC and medical bills? Or at this point let them go to collections? If the house sells before he passes then I believe the money earned can be split with no repercussions please correct me if Im wrong. If he passes before closing then as I understand it will go into probate, and the creditors will be able to make claims against it. At this point I figure his credit rating is moot. And we were considering stopping payments on the car as well, and just letting it get repossessed as no one wants or can afford the car payments.Im asking because at this point we are pretty financially strained, and while not having to pay the mortgage and utilities on the house will help we are still paying a bunch out every month in addition to our own bills.The state is Delaware. Thank you for any help given!Assistant: You might get in legal trouble with his creditors if you take his assets just before death then stiff them on the money he owes. Human: Yeah rlegaladvice introduced me the term Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act! Had no idea such a thing existed!  <response>: Thats why you have to do estate planning well in advance.
