Legal Question in Tax Law in California

Yesterday, I recieved notice from the California Franchise Tax Board that my parents (both died in 2010) owe approx. $150.00 for tax year 2008. Both parents have lived in Arizona for the past 50+ years, never resided in California and in fact both were residing in an Arizona Nursing home for 2008. The estate has been closed out after filing notice of creditors in the local Prescott newspaper in 2010. There are no monies left in the estate. As the representative of the estate, am I now personnaly responsible for paying this tax?

I would suggest sending the Franchise Tax Board a letter with a copy of their death certificates, and explain the circumstances. Tell the FTB that its claim is rejected, if your parents had no income from California in 2008.
