I received an letter today from this Hosto & Buchan, P.L.L.C., this letter was addressed to my mother.
My mother died on October 8, 2004. She did not completely pay off an debt owed to Sears. They called the date that she died, and wanted to know when they could expect payment. I then informed them that my mother had died that morning. They told me that they were sorry and don't worry about anything, that they would take care of everything on that end.

I assume that they had charged off the account. Now, some 2 1/2 years later, I received this letter from them that these people at Hosto & Buchan, had purchased this account from sears.

So what do I have to do these people to keep them off of my back?

Sincerely,

Colene
Littlefield, Texas
U.S.A.

The family drew up the will and I had my mother sign it before 2 witnessess and a notary. I still have the will. The family decided not to probate her will until the final hour so to speak. Thats 4 years from her death in Texas.
Got any other suggestions?

Since the will hasn't gone to probate...

AUTHOR: Robert - (U.S.A.)

I would suggest contacting the lawyer or the law firm that drafted her will to get their advice.

Please understand that I am no expert at all on these matters. I am offering suggestions based on my experience when I probated my own mothers will. In my case, it took 9 months for my mothers will to clear probate. Your state will certainly be different.

Good luck.

rip off of Hosto & Buchan

I appreciate your help very much. In the state of Texas, you don't have to probate a will for 4 years. We haven't probated my mothers will as of yet. She didn't own her home, so they can't get that, so where does that leave them?

A couple thoughts...

AUTHOR: Robert - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Saturday, March 03, 2007

I am not sure about the probate laws in your state but I would guess that if they did not submit a claim against her estate when it went to probate they are SOL. A quick check with a probate lawer should provide you with more accurate information.

As a possible suggestion, send them an official copy of the death certificate and a copy of the papers you or the executor of her will should have received from the probate court.

Then tell them to take a flying leap.

Good luck.
