The Estate of the Deceased, all debts are paid from the assets of the estate, and anything else left over is provided to the heirs in accordance with their will, or if no will by equable division by the probate court. If all the assets are liquidated and there is a balance still due to creditors heirs get nothing but are not responsible for any of the debts.
However, if a family member was a co-signer, or guarantor to any loan or service then they would be responsible for those balances; including nursing home care, etc.

You have an old phone bill from 7 years ago and it has fallen off your credit as of 2 months ago are you still responsible?
You are still responsible for the bill if it hasn't been taken care of yet.The phone company has just not done anything with the credit reporting agencies concerning the bill. They have probably just written it off as a loss and forgotten about it, but they could probably submit another new entry to the credit reporting agencies and start it all over again, as long as there is no statute of limitations in your state concerning old bills.
Who's responsible for credit card debt after the card holder dies?
The estate covers the bill. If the spouse is still alive, he/she will probably have to cover the bill with the proceeds of the estate. If there aren't enough assets to cover the debt, and the credit account was not joint with anyone else, the credit card company will have to pay it out of their own pocket. Credit card companies cannot force the family to pay the debt. == ==

Is it illegal to use your child's credit?
Since when can a child have credit? They need a steady job in order to apply for credit. And Mom would have to sign for that, if the child is under the age of majority....so in fact Mom is responsible to pay the bill if the child defaults on payments. Basically it is Mom's credit card.
