Morning, my father (who was a Dominican citizen) passed away recently. He had a pending loan debt and also some medical bills. I keep hearing different things about those debts dying along with him, or whether or not I would have to pay them. If they "have" to be paid, then they will be paid, but if it could be avoided, then that's preferable.
The medical one may have to be paid because I believe my aunt signed some documents while I was out of the country. The bank loan, perhaps not.
We already have a choice of three different lawyers to consult with here in Santo Domingo, and I'm sure that anyone reading this in this group who also happens to be a lawyer may try to reach out, but for now, I just have this general question:
What happens to a person's debt in this country when they pass away. Do the children have to pay it off?
I'm in Santo Domingo.
