Depends on whether you are in a community property state. If you are, and married, your spouse dies, you/estate is responsible for the 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. == ==

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!!!!!!!!

Who pays the credit card death of a person in Iowa?

The wording is such we can't really understand you, but I think you're asking if someone dies in Iowa, who has to pay their credit card debt. The answer is that it's the responsibility of the estate, and the debts of the estate must be settled before any bequests can be given out.
