20 Life-Changing Money Lessons You Learn in Your 30s
Retirement isn’t as far away as your may think.
On your car leasing article that is posted I have a question. What if you have an older parent. One parent is deceased and the other one decides to lease a vehicle. If they lease a vehicle for 36 months and die before the 36 month lease is up what happens at that point? Can the car just be returned to the dealership, since they have passed away or is the estate responsible for the remaining payments?
Returning the car to the dealership likely would be considered an “early termination” that could trigger all kinds of penalties and fees. If you’re in this situation, talk to the company that extended the lease (NOT the dealership) and get your alternatives in writing.
