Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

The small business owner's estate may be responsible for his debts. The executor of his estate should handle the matter. Forward the letters to the executor of the estate and/or reply to the letters directing the creditor to contact the executor of the estate. If no executor of the estate, or no assets of the estate, you can reply to the creditor informing them of that fact. As always, it is better to have an attorney respond in writing to protect your rights and interests.

In addition to the previous answer remember the living family has no responsibility to pay a decedents debts-if no asset tell that via mail-more politely than go pound sand-etc.-Other wise send to attorney for the estate. If you need help either wite me an e-mail or call me.
