If you didn't sign a promissory note to pay, then you are not responsible. If that is the case, tell them that it would need to go through probate but since there are no assets, probate probably won't be opened. Also, if you have not signed a promissory note nor opened probate, that they are violating Fair Collection Practices if they continue to harass you. Should you continue to have problems, consult an attorney in your area.
