Can credit card companies force heirs to sell real estate after a death?
If the credit card company has filed a claim against the estate the debt must be paid before any assets can be distributed to the heirs. In any estate the debts must be paid first. The heirs get any assets that are left after the payment of debts. If the estate doesn't pay the bill the creditor can force the sale of the real estate to collect the debt. If the property is the only asset and the heirs want to keep it then the heirs must pay the credit card bill.

Will credit card companies reduce the balance owed upon death?
Credit card debt is not passed on to heirs when a loved one dies, but it can still affect you. When someone dies with debt, credit card companies will first try to collect from the deceased's estate. If there is not enough money in the estate, heirs may have to sell assets from the estate in order to cover the liabilities. So, even though the heirs are not directly responsible for the debt, they may have to sell assets they were expecting to keep in order to repay the deceased's financial obligations. If, after assets are sold, there still is not enough money in the estate to cover the remaining debt, the company that issued the credit card will write off the debt. Usually, a death certificate is required as proof. Family members are not legally liable for any debt. Be careful, however, if you are a joint account holder on a credit card. If you have a card in common with someone, you are responsible for the debt on that account if the other account holder dies.
