I don't have an answer but a suggestion, you might want to ask an atorney, because I think if your mom past away and she left property her children inherit them and the credit cards can't do anything about unless they put liens on the property. But your best bet is to calculate the credit card debt and then find out how much the property is worth and if the debt is bigger than the property value contact a atorney they won't charge you for a question over the phone. a simple question. My mom passed and from my experience no body can intercept with an inheritance not even your spouse when you divorce. I believe the pragmatic answer, and there may be a different more strict legal one, is that she has been dead long enough and the estate resolved that the past is the past. That said, my real concern would be that this unknown find that your being told about...and especially the contention that it means you now have money coming to you, is very suspecious. This is a not too uncommon type of fraud ploy done by scammers. DO NOT SEND THEM ANY MONEY...as a retainer, to close the deal, etc., etc. (By the way who sold the property if your mom was the owner? Why didn't they keep the money? Who has been paying the taxes on the property for the last 6 years? And yes, the tax department was sending notices...you/she didn't receive them? Sold to pay them - so they couldn't find you when they wanted tax money, but now that they have it to give you they can? No record she ever owned it or paid a bill on it? This smells!) Contact another independent attorney in the area the property supposidly is in...or where the attorney contacting you claims he is and tell them your story before you do anything else. This new attorney will likely give you a free consult, and be able to confirm easily if the other attorney, or property, is real.

Who is responsible when your spouse uses your credit card and leaves you with the debt?
You are, I'm afraid. Your credit card is a binding contract that makes you responsible for all debts incurred. It is your responsibility to collect from anyone that you allow to use your card. If the use was without your consent, then it gets a lot more complicated.

What is subtraction property?
associative, distributive * * * * * That, I am afraid, is utter rubbish. A - (B - C) = A - B + C whereas (A - B) - C = A - B - C These two are NOT equal so the associative property does not hold. Subtraction does not have the distributine property, it is multiplication that has that property with regard to subtraction: A*(B - C) = A*B - A*C
