They typically have a right to make a claim against the estate if the estate is open and to open the estate to get their claim paid if one has not been opened. They very rarely if ever do this in my experience. See if statute of limitations may apply.

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.


Who's responsible for credit card debt after the card holder dies?

The estate covers the bill. If the spouse is still alive, he/she will probably have to cover the bill with the proceeds of the estate. If there aren't enough assets to cover the debt, and the credit account was not joint with anyone else, the credit card company will have to pay it out of their own pocket. Credit card companies cannot force the family to pay the debt. == ==
