I mean the mother signed a contract? there's a "classic" case that if an old person ordered a stair lift and then died before construction started the heirs will still have to pay for that.

It's just that you inherit not just the values but also the obligations as shitty as it might be

and that she apparently didn't even send them the death-certificate before going to the media makes this just drip from big Karen-energy...

I don't think you can sign your children into a contract of any kind. If there's money they're inheriting the estate would have to pay contracts before the heirs in some cases but if there's no money to be had I don't think the kids are on the hook for anything.

The quick way around this is to be in debt to your kids!
