How do you come up with topics to cover? I'd guess general news is an easy pick, but outside of that, are there specific resources you keep tabs on?

Bonus question: how do you deal with vacations? Do you try and keep the podcast going, or do you basically say "next 2 weeks no podcast due to vacation"?

It depends where you're from, but there should be a way to decline an inheritance in case of debts. I think most countries do NOT automatically transfer assets (including debts) to any heirs. In effect, a notary would contact any heirs and go from there. For example, in my personal case I had the choice to:

  • Blindly inherit (you accept the inheritance regardless of any debts)
  • Accept inheritance only if the net balance is positive (requires the notary to research value of all assets, costing time and money)
  • Decline the inheritance

Accepting the inheritance also meant I was on the hook for emptying the rental house the family member had. Had I declined the inheritance though, I technically wouldn't be allowed to take anything from the house, like pictures or whatnot. After all, at that point the assets would belong to someone else (another heir or the state).
