Are there any stats as to what percentage of debts are paid by any estate holdings after a person dies, as opposed to debts never paid out because the money just isn’t there? If I owe money when I die, and I don’t leave an estate outside of personal effects that are exempt, how is the debt paid (or is it)? ---

It seems to me that, after a person dies, whatever they owned instantly becomes the property of the heirs. The problem of probate isn’t that the property isn’t owned; it’s that the courts don’t know who owns it. It’s like, if I find a dropped wallet lying on the sidewalk, someone owns it. I just don’t know who that is, right away. ---

If you want to look at it that way, which makes some sense but IMO isn’t really technically legally valid, then you need a little more nuanced treatment. Which gets to this: > The property is owned by the creditors, the tax authorities, and the heirs , in that order The problem of probate isn’t that the property isn’t owned; it’s that the courts don’t know who owns it. Yet. ---
