- I just got a call from my father’s auto insurer, telling me he’s behind on his payment. I explained he died in February.
- “He still needs to pay for the last two months,” said the man from the insurance company.
- “But he can’t pay. He’s deceased,” I said.
- “He owes $348.62, for the period April 24 to June 24,” he said.
- “But he didn’t drive then. He died in February. No one has driven his car since he died.”
- “Well, someone has to pay or his insurance will be cancelled, and it will hurt his credit rating.”
- “I’m sure he’d be okay if it’s cancelled,” I said. “And I don’t think he cares about his credit rating.”
- “Are you trying to be smart with me?” asked the man from the insurance company.
- “No, I’m just trying to tell you that my father is deceased and he doesn’t need car insurance.”
- “Have you cancelled his car registration?”
- “No, I haven’t got around to that.”
- “Well, you should. If he’s deceased, he shouldn’t have a registration.”
- “I understand.”
- “Nobody’s supposed to have a registration if they’re not paying their auto insurance.”
- “Right.”
- “So, are you going to pay the insurance that’s due?”
- “I wasn’t planning to.”
- “Then it’s an illegal car.”
- “But it won’t be on the road.”
- “Still illegal.”
- “Sorry.”
- “That could be a problem for him.”
- “He’s no longer with us.”
- “I know. You made that clear. I’m referring to his estate.”
- “I don’t see how.”
- “Well, let’s say the state of Florida imposes a penalty for having a car registered in his name but no insurance. And let’s say that penalty holds up any legal proceedings in resolving …”
- “May I ask you a personal question?”
- “Personal?”
- “Who do you support for President?
- “For President?”
- “I don’t mean to pry.”
- [chuckling] “Oh, no problem,” he said.
- “You have a favorite candidate?” I asked.
- “As a matter of fact, I do,” he said.
- “And who is it?”
- “That Trump fella.”
- “Really?”
- “Yeah, Trump. Good man. No bullshit.”
