TLDR: mom has terminal cancer and about 40k debt (CC, HELOC, medical). What debt can she stop paying now?
Mom (64) has about 40k USD across a HELOC, CC, and medical debt. She has terminal cancer and at most 6mo to live. She is living on Social Security and totally maxed out. What can she stop paying now and we can figure it out when she’s dead versus what will the creditor come after her asset (home- owned outright besides HELOC). What should we prioritize her paying if we have to cut one?
