Check with an attorney on this...however, speaking from experience if the person is an unmarried/widowed parent the bills just don't get paid. The children of the deceased are not obligated to pay them UNLESS they are on the accounts too. If the person was married and the spouse is still alive then the spouse becomes responsible in most states. There is lots of information on the Web regarding these questions...I have found a ton of information here in the last few months regarding this. Also, most attorneys will give you a free consultation. Don't sweat this. It's bad but it's not the end of the world...it happens.

How can a person receive assistance with utility bills?

A person can receive assistance with utility bills by applying for welfare. They will give you an application to fill out so you can write down all the people in your household, how much your bills are, who works in your household, how much money a person makes in your household, and a few other questions. You could get a coupon for maybe 1/4 - 2/4 or what ever your household qualifies for. Good luck!

In Ontario what happens to your credit card balance when you die?

In almost all jurisdictions, any money owed by a deceased person is payable from the assets of that person. Typically, money held in a bank account for that person can be used to pay outstanding bills but funds from other assets such as physical property, houses etc can be used. If there are no assets (the deceased had no money and no property of value) then the amount owing on a credit card will be written off. In this case, his relatives are not responsible for the debts.
