The beneficiary is not necessarily responsible, but the estate of the deceased will go through probate. At that time, any outstanding loans or financial obligations will be paid from the estate. This will have the effect of reducing inheritance and will seem to be "you" paying for the debt, but it actually the last bill everyone pays.

Is life insurance considered inherited property that a credit card company can claim after the death of a mother for unpaid credit card debt?

Depends upon the State of your mother's residence, and the beneficiary of her insurance policy. If the beneficiary was her estate, they might be able to recover the debt; if an individual was the beneficiary, unless that person was a cosignor of the debt, it is not likely they have any recourse. Have you checked to see if your mother's account had debt cancellation coverage? Best of luck. Rjbeeg

In Alaska are your children responsible for your medical and credit card debt after you die?

They are not responsible for credit card or other creditor debt unless they are joint account holders, nor are they responsible to pay medical bills unless they signed a written agreement to do so. Life insurance death benefits are not subject to creditor attachment or to probate procedure when there is a named beneficiary. No, but your estate is. If you have any property that you WANTED to go to the children, the courts will sell the property to pay outstanding debts. That is often the reason probate takes so long.
