When a parent dies are the adult children responsible for any unpaid utilities?
No Technically speaking it is the parents "estate" that is responsible for the debt. In other words if the parent is leaving anything of value behind (cash, cars, house, etc) than the estate is required to pay off all possible debts BEFORE the remaining value can be distributed to children as part of an inheritance. Whoever is the executor of the estate (usually named in the will) is responsible for paying off all debts, unpaid utilities, loans, mortgages, etc but they use the estates money to do so. This may require selling anything of value (houses, cars, etc) in an effort to get the cash needed to pay these bills. Whatever is left over after paying these debts can then be given to the benefactors of the will (or in the case of no will, it usually goes to the spouse or split among children) However, in the event that the total value of the estate can not cover all of the debts, these bills do not need to be paid. But if that happens that also means there is nothing left over for anyone to inherit.
