I think that would be paid out of the estate and not by the child.
The decedent's estate is responsible for the debts of the decedent.
The child is not responsible for the debts of the parents. The estate has to resolve all of these before they can close it out.
They are not personally responsible. The estate has the responsibility to resolve the debts. If the assets are not adequate to resolve them, they have to be written off.
The estate of the deceased.
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 It is no longer in effect.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).
The estate of the credit card holder. If the surviving spouse was an approved user, or co-signee they would also be responsible.

AnswerNo, you need to send a copy of the death certificate to the credit card company. You are not responsible for your father's debt.
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.
Your mother's estate is responsible for her credit card debt.
Actually, the answer is the credit card holder is responsible for the debt if single, otherwise the spouse may be responsible for a partners debts. If it was made while they were married, otherwise, the bank can't collect the debt.
