My Dad Was Being Sued But Then He Died.

Location: Colorado, USA

My Dad was in a car accident in 2024 and due to a string of bad luck, he was uninsured at the time. (He didn't even know it but thats a long story.) I'm not sure when exactly but the person he was in the accident with decided to sue him for the cost of the damages ($12,000) which Dad didn't have. My mom had just been diagnosed with breast cancer, and all sorts of crap made money tight. She passed away February 2025.Then in October of 2025, Dad passed away unexpectedly. Literally days after my dad passed away, the guy (and his lawyer) who was suing him, attempted to contact my dad but he reached my uncle instead because my uncle is handling dads affairs. My uncle told the guy that my dad passed away and the guy didn't care. He told my uncle that he knew dad owned a house and he would just go after the estate. The thing is, Dad had put the house in a trust with my uncle as trustee and me as beneficiary. Dad has no other assets left outside of the trust because not long before his passing, he got scammed online and they cleaned his bank accounts out. The guy hadn't contacted my uncle for a while so it kinda went to the wayside. But recently he did contact my uncle AND the lawyer my dad set up the trust with and my uncle is now using to get everything squared away. We are currently working on selling the house because I can't afford the mortgage. My uncle is talking about using money from the house to pay the guy suing dad because dad has no other assets. I guess my uncles lawyer told him it's not worth a battle in court so we should just pay him, but im not sure if she knows the house is pretty much all that's left. Can they force me to pay this dude with the money i get when the house sells? It's already not going to sell for much, I need as much money as I can get to get myself a new place.
