I recently learned Im the benificary of my fathers retirement funds , he selection the option for the benificary the be paid in one lump sum .
1. He had no will ( my sister is the administrater )
2. She informed me that his retirement funds are part of his estate , Could that be true ?
3. She also informed me that all his bills are paid ... except the very large medical bills , he passed away only 7 weeks ago , so more medical bills are expected .
4. Im wonder what the process is about medical bills , he did have pretty good insurance , however Im guessing the total amount medically is appox . $ 175K
5. Who is responsible for the 20 % that the insurance doesnt cover ? Is the remaining balance taken out of his estate ? Does his medical insurance write it off ? At this point with all his small bills paid ... there barely is anything left in the estate.
6 . Can they touch his retirement funds that he left to me ?
