What happens to my student loan debt at death?
I'm going to kill myself and I want to know what will happen to my student loan debts. I'm 140 thousand dollars in debt from just student loans alone. I don't want my death to be the topic of this thread, but for details sake, it should be known that I'm going to die and that it won't be natural or by accident or murder (in case circumstance of death matters in how the debt is handled afterward) and it's futile to spend time talking about it or talking me out of it.
I'd like to know what will happen with my loan debt. I have student loans with Sallie Mae, Citibank, Chase, Wells Fargo, and Keybank. The federal loans I have are being handled through Sallie, all the others are private. My mother is 70 years old, my father is 79, I'm 25 never married, no dependents, never paid taxes, credit score 566, no criminal record, don't have any assets to be taken and no longer have a bank account after it being force-closed. Each of them are in repayment, and Keybank, Citi, and Chase all gave me the option of a graduated repayment plan, which I have. I'm being served court documents for being in default with Wells Fargo.
My co-borrower for the Citi loan is a distant uncle who didn't want to co-sign for me years ago, but did, and now the loan is in repayment, and with the payments to the others, I can't afford it without being late. The uncle is also in his 70's.
What will happen with my debt and how will it be handled when I'm dead?
Also, not sure if it will be necessary to create a new thread for this question since it's related, but I also have debt over $600 to CapitalOne for a credit card, $1,000 AT&T bill, and other smaller debts. What will happen to these debts as well?
