Hi my father is being sued by a credit card company
the problem is that he died before it went to court. me and my sister we left the house. my question is can they take the house from us?

Hi thombeat,

Can you tell in whose name the house is? If it is in your father's name, then the credit card company can sue you, and if they win the judgment against you they can put a lien on the house. When a person dies, his estate is used to pay off the balance.

Thanks,

Aaron
