What is the statue of limitations for a collection agency to collect from a deceased person?

My father passed away over three years ago, and a collection agency keeps calling me trying to collect payment. My father has been deceased for over three years. Can they take me to court or anything?

Actually the agent had up to a year while your fathers estate was in trust to put in claim for monies owed. If the estate has been closed they have no recourse and you need to get an attorney to file a motion to have the harrasment stopped. Usually if you refer them to your lawyer when they call they won't bother anymore, however if they did file before the years time and they wheren't paid accordingly from the estate then they can followup with propper recourse but that should be handled through the attorney.
