Do you need to make another roll to confirm?
It’s a rope burn. He had a moment of self-awareness, but they found him in time.
I don’t know- has Lindsay Graham spent any time alone with him lately?
That would be an ass hickey.
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 isn’t.
Unless you live in a state that can force your children to pay your debts for medical and/or long-term care expenses. Check out Filial Responsibility laws, now brought to you in 29 states.
Another reason not to have children!
It’s an even better reason to not have parents!
If any of youse are Wikipedia editors, the lead info in the filial responsibility article is out of date and gives 2019 information.
Everyone is a Wikipedia editor!
Unless you’ve been banned, in which case, stay the fuck away!!!

If any of youse are active, participating Wikipedia editors…
I’m glad to learn most of these laws are not enforced. So far as I’m concerned, they shouldn’t even be on the books.
For sure they should not.
This is gonna turn into just like the “Trump is dying” Pit thread is…watch.
Aw man, now I’m never going to be able to eat at Joe’s KC BBQ again… 
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.
Can’t we spin this talk of estates to its own thread? I want more Rudi death watch.
