Who is responsible for credit card debt when a person dies in New York State?

If the person left a Will then Probating the Will will pay all debts the person has left behind and what is left in the Estate (is called 'residue) and this is what is left for the Heirs in the Will. If the person dies without a Will whatever they have is sold and debts paid off, but it's not up to next of kin (unless their name is on the credit card application) to pay the debt. Example: If a husband passes away and the husband and wife's name is on the Credit Card (it usually is) then the wife is responsible for the Credit Card debt.
