Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas

Credit collections

My son used his deceased step-father's credit card about 9 years after his death. He signed his own name, not his step-fathers. The charges were accepted. He paid the payments until he was laid off. I did not know about the usage. Now a debt collector is calling and wanting to speak with the person handling the final affairs of my late husband. He has been deceased 16 years. There is not an estate. What I do and how much trouble could my son be in?
