The estate of the deceased is...of course that may essentially be simply a reduction of what the children would get. But the tax does not go away..the property owes it and if it must be sold to collect it, by the estate (or the tax jurisdcition), it has to be, before clear title can go to anyone else.

If you are the power of atty for your parents and your sister is the Executor of estate stole their credit credit card and the home they owned has been transferred to children who is responsible?

If your parents are deceased the Power of Attorney expired when they died. It is no longer in effect. If your sister used their credit card after their death then she committed a criminal act and could be prosecuted. Her use of the crdit card has nothing to do with their estate. She is responsible for her actions. If she charged on the account after your parents death, the credit card company can't attach the real estate you inherited. They would need to bring charges against your sister. You should cooperate by providing them with any information you have that would help in their investigation, where they can find your sister and the circumstances that enabled her to use your parents credit card (her being the executor of their estates).
