Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Debt

My Grandmother passed away in 2003. She had no estate to speak of, and her life insurance barely covered the cost of burial. It is now 2009. As members of her immediate family we are not required to keep paying her outstanding debts are we? Credit Card debts for example?
