Send a letter to the credit card company. Include all the pertinent information about account numbers and addresses. A copy of your letter of authorization from the court should also be included. The credit card company will then file a claim against the estate for any balance owed.

If you were an additional card holder on your father's credit card are you responsible for the debt after his death?

I believe only if you signed on the dotted line, most times the owner of the card has it in their name, and they send out those things to add someone to use your account, i believe if the bill is in your fathers name, you are not liable. If someone dies i don't believe any family member has to pay it, unless they signed something, just tell the credit card people they died, don't let them scare you into paying it!!!!!!!!

If you have a duplicate company credit card in your name and the owner of the business died can you be held responsible for the remaining debt?

Unless you have some stake in the company, you have no liability on any credit card transactions. Unless you continued to use the card after the owner's death. That COULD be a criminal act.


If your wife died with credit card debt in her name only should you send them a copy of her death certificate or wait for them to call?

Not sure what the procedure is for all credit card companies, but as long as you are not in charge of the deceased's estate, and your name is not on the credit card account, then you are not responsible. However, you are supposed to call the credit card company and report their death. Any charges incurred after the date of the deceased's death, you are responsible for -- as an authorized user. If you wish to assume the credit card account, you must send the company a copy of your documents naming you as the 'executor of the estate'. This was the case in my mother's recent departure.
