No, you are not responsible. However, creditors may sue your father's estate.

No. As long as you have not signed anything that would name you as a co signer or paid any bills on behalf of your father. As to the funds in the bank, if you are the only heir take the death certificate to the bank to collect the funds. If he named a beneficiary, that person would be entitled to the funds.
