INSIGHT My dad passed away a few days ago, he left Debt and my mom asked for my signature untuk surat kuasa waris, etc
Hi all,
Worse case scenario happened and my dad passed away. Few days before he passed away, his condition suddenly taken turn to worse while he was at the hospital. From then on, it all went down so fast, he passed, and we took care of his funeral. Currently we're still grieving, however the debt he left behind is concerning
Fyi:
- I don't know how much debt he have in specific, but I assume it's a lot
- My family hasn't been that transparent around financial situation/ condition secara spesifik. I've heard sekilas" ttg family's financial situation secara angka-only after my dad is diagnosed with cancer
- I don't know how much Pekpao / Uang Duka that my family have received but I assume it's also a lot (I hope it could & will pay off all of my dad's debt)
- Note: I don't know if the Debt is bigger or total Uang Dukanya bigger, but either way, it doesn't change the fact that the debt still exist & we still need the money to support the family currently (outside of debt)
- We're now a family of 3 member (mom, me, little brother)
Context of the things I'm being asked to sign (after I've read it):
- Surat kuasa waris so my mom could Klaim BPJS Ketenagakerjaan:
All family members are asked to sign
- Surat kuasa waris to give my mom the highest/ full authority for administration purposes:
Me and my little brother are asked to sign
- Surat pernyataan ahli waris:
All family members are asked to sign. However, this focus more on the kids who are still alive for the data. Although, bagian ahli warisnya, my mom is also included.
Concern:
The debt left behind is concerning. My mom is pushing me to sign this immediately so she could take care of my dad's debt to dukcapil (possibly asap??). I'm scared because I don't have much information nor kepastian yet. My dad left suddenly, my mom is still grieving & I don't know how to communicate this & don't even think if it's the right move. She's unstable and even irritated that I didn't sign this immediately, "sebegitu percayanya sama orang tua" she said. However, I don't want to do/ sign something that I will regret doing
For the people who have been through this tough times/ knowledgeable/ skilled in the area, any insights are appreciated. Thank you
