It depends on whther or not your brother is an authorized user. In which case the company would come after him for the money. I will assume, for the moment that he isn't. In most states this is considered fraudulent use of a credit card and a criminal as well as civil offense. I don't understand why this was not cleared up in Probate, or by whomever handled your granmother' affairs after her death. You can call or write the credit card company and inform them of the situation. They might ask for a death certificate to close the account. There are other options such as contacting the Elder Abuse organization in your area who should refer you to someone who can give you legal assistance. Please feel free to email me if I can help you further.
