Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New Jersey
who is responsible for credit card debts when the credit card holder dies?
1 Answer from Attorneys
The executor of the credit card holder's Estate (if the credit card holder left a Will) or the Administrator of the credit card holder's Estate (if no Will) has the duty to pay the dead person's debts from the person's assets.
Anyone who cosigned the credit card accounts will still be liable.
