Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey

Credit card debt of a deceased loved one.

My friend's Mom passed away and left nothing but clothes (just regular clothes, not designer or anything).

She did have a few thousand dollars credit card debt. What is the executor's responsibility re this? A lawyer has been detained by the credit card company after they were told there is no estate.

Thanks.

Executor is only responsible to pay debts out of deceased's assets after funeral expenses, court fees, legal fees and executor commission. If credit card attorney bothers him have him call an attorney to respond. We can help.
