<prompt> Human: My dad is dying of a brain degenerative disease called MSA. similar to ALS He owns our houseproperty, but it is in a trust, and he is head trustee. His credit is excellent, and he is still paying off a small personal loan of about 5-10k from a credit union , and about a thousand on credit cards. The other day we were discussing bills that we will be responsible for after he dies Home owners insurance, utilities, taxes, etc. and we werent sure about what happens to his debt. Will they go after his assets? Even though after his death, the head trustee will be my mom. And they are not married. or does his debt disappear? There are no co-signers or collateral. That got us thinking...what if he took out another loan to help cover his care needs, and to make his last months a little more comfortable, with no intention of paying it back? Thanks for any advice!  <response>: Sorry about your dad. They will be able to come after his estate. Whether or not they will be able to come after the house, depends on what kind of trust he created and put the property into. If it is a irrevocable trust, then no, creditors cannot come after it, if it is a revocable, living trust, then yes they can come after it. He can certainly take out another loan if he wants to, but whoever he takes it out from might try and collect from his estate...
