Should I Pay?

My dad died in 2013. Since he has been deceased I have had several people come to me and claim that they loaned him money. I received another call today. What is the right thing to do?

No proof. No money.

@Maggimay I take a person at their word my problem is not that. my problem is how can somebody come to me almost 5 years later asking for something like that .

@Capt11 They can’t. There is a time period to make claims. @PerthSurfer explained it nicely above. In the case of my mom, I was the executor. A public posting is usually made requesting anyone with a claim to come forth. If they fail to do so in the allotted time..too bad. Probate is closed.

@Capt11 i think they are trying their luck.
