Re: Responsible for deceased parents credit cards?
I'm sorry to hear of your loss. In regards to your question, the personal representative of an estate has several duties, one of which is to publish notice of the decedent's death and notify all known creditors. The creditors will file a claim with the court and are then paid through the assets of the estate. If the estate is supervised the personal representative must get permission from the court to make payments from the assets of the estate.
