The debt will be paid from your estate. If there isn't enough, then the debt is discharged. The debt itself will not pass on to next of kin but a sizable debt might mean none of the deceased's estate does either.

Who pays off the balance of a deceased credit card person?

Typically, the estate of the deceased individual is responsible for paying off any outstanding balances on credit cards. If the deceased person has a joint account holder or a cosigner on the credit card, they may also be responsible for the debt. In some cases, credit card companies may write off the debt if there are no assets in the estate to cover the outstanding balance.

Who pays for my debt after i die?

Your estate pays your debts after you die. If there is not enough, tought luck for the creditors. The only way for the debt to be passed along is if there is some contractual obligation on the part of another person. Such things would be co-signing for a loan, joined owned credit cards, joint owned loans (such as a house), etc.
