No. If the property is titled correctly (Joint Tenants With Rights of Survivorship) then it cannot be attached by creditors upon the death of any of the owners.
I think that would be paid out of the estate and not by the child.
your not 18, you can enter into a legally binding contract which is what a credit card entails because your a minor plus your parents are suppsoed to be financially responsible for you till your 18 and that means that they would be responsible for any bill you rack up on a credit card and credit companies don't really go for that, so the credit card is a no go. you can become an authorized user on your parents credit card but then you have to abide by the credit companies and your parents rules sorry kid :( -I'm 18, i looked into this when i was 17 too
No. Because stepparents can take children to the court center and tell the judge what do they have to use parents's credit card after they die.
The estate of the person that is dead.
If the parents are the primary card holders and let the child use the card, yes. If the child is a minor, yes. If the parents are a co-signer for the account, yes. If the child is over 18 and the credit card is their own, no.
No. The credit card companies will try to get you to pay off your parents bills but you don't have it. It is all volunteer. I was glad to learn this since my mother is 81.
in my opinion it is a good idea because it can prove to parents if the kids are trust worthy and responsible
No. You never agreed to pay the debt, therefore cannot be held responsible.
If this debt is from a loan or credit card they obtained while under age 18 the lending institution is at fault for granting the credit. If the debt is owed by a parent then you still owe it.
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 It is no longer in effect.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).

No, they can't accept that their parents or one of them authorize that they can, and if they do they need to really check that their son or daughter is responsible enough for a credit card. A minor may be able to use an adult's credit card if the credit card owner has officially authorized the minor to use it.
