Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New York

my father passed away 2 years ago. there was no estate. yesterday I was contacted by a collection agency (posing as a process server) trying to reach my father. I did not speak to them, my husband did. they would not give him any info but said I must call them back. am I responsible for any debt my father may have left after his death and what is my obligation to contact this collection agency?

If there was no estate and no assets left by your father, you have no responsibility to make payment on his behalf after his death.
