Re: Elderly Parent Credit card debt
If you are a co-debtor on the account then you are responsible for your mother's credit card debt. If you have been using the account for your own personal benefit, then you are also legally responsible for that portion of the debt. Otherwise, you are not responsible for your mother's debts.
