> You aren’t the executor of his estate.

yes I am. I was given permission from his family and filed the paper work with the courts. I am Executor and Fiduciary.

Then get a lawyer. Executors have limited liability, but if you don’t know the line, the billers will keep pushing you over it.

I tried - Ouimette and runcie wouldn't work with me on this one. They were great for my father's estate, but because this guy died poor with no real physical assets - I think they wanted nothing to do with it.

> Executors have limited liability

yes and in the case I might be liable. however their filing being nearly 2 years after his death at the brink of closing out the estate is bad form on their behalf.

I never liked UVM med. charging someone $400 for a wheel chair rental for an hour is fucking stupid.

This is why you need a lawyer. They should have made all claims within a specified time. If they missed that gate, they are sol. If you made promises, then you are on the hook.

Yeah I wanted to hire a lawyer - Ouimett and Rumsey was great when my dad died, but they had no interest taking on this estate and told me to do it myself. SO now we're here.
