I am so sorry for your loss. So I would suggest you seek help from an attorney in your area. The transfer could have been valid if your state allows for an heir at law deed. BUt it is true that you can not avoid creditors. The creditors must be given notice and file a claim with the estate. The creditors have options as to the house but it is best to try and resolve the debt by negotiating it. Seek ehlp. Good luck.
