Too indefinite of a question, but basically all bills need to be paid out of the estate.

You are not responsible for the debts of a decedent unless you are co-owner of the card.

While you may not be personally responsible, the decedent's estate will have to pay any debt so it may reduce your share. Contact a probate attorney in your area for assistance or specific legal advice. Regards,
