I was told by GM Financial since my father did not leave behind a will, nor appoint a person responsible for his estate, that even though my mom technically “inherits” his estate, since there’s no co-signee the “death clause” kicks in and the lease is terminated upon my father’s death.

I’m more upset that the dealership tries to stick her with a $25K bill by having her sign the probate form to assume his liabilities even though she does not need to. I even argued that in all my conversation with GM Financial they reassured us that the death clause in the lease contract absolves her of the financial burden. Yet they tried to stick the probate form in front of her to sign.
Agreed. Perplexing and disappointing.
