Are adult children responsible for deceased parents debt in Arizona?

Unlikely but the estate may have obligations. The question itself is very vague. Do you mean medical bills? Credit card bills? Utility bills? Exactly what type of debt? No one is responsible for a medical bill, credit card bill (unless they're in joint names), utility bills except for the person the bill is in their name. Paying a spouse's hospital bill after their death is unnecessary. It doesn't matter if it's AZ or any place in the U. S. The only bill you must pay is the mortgage itself otherwise you will lose the property if that's not paid. Also a car note if that's not paid the car will be repo-ed. Not paying the electric bill means no electric the same for the cable bill. Paying any bills out of the estate is up to the individual who inherits the estate but in my opinion the bill dies with the deceased. Think about it once a person is dead you tell the bill collector they're no longer alive you won't get another phone call or another bill since you can't collect from the dead.
