Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New York

My father recently passed away. He owed approx. 30k to credit cards. I am his only surviving family. My father left no money. However, he has property, a house, in Florida. I will eventually sell the house. In the meantime, I would like to know what my legal responsibilities are to the credit card companies. My name is not on his account. However, the monthly bills come to my home.

Pls advise.

His estate is responsible. The house is an asset of the estate. You will need a probate of the estate in Florida to obtain tile and will have to notify his creditors. Good luck.
