My question involves estate proceedings in the state of: Alabama
We have 3 promissory notes in differing values on an investment opportunity which also includes the Interest/Return on investment. They were all notarized. One is due to be repaid on or before 12/08/09, another on or before 02/03/10 and the last on or before 02/17/10. We just discovered that the sole owner of the marketing company died recently in a fire. The notes state that in the event that these notes aren't paid in a timely manner, she agreed to pay all attorney and collection fees. Since she died, where do we go from here? Should we get a lawyer now? Do we wait and see if we get something from the estate or her lawyer, if she had one? What are our options at this point?
