If the credit card is drawn against the business, that is if it is a business account, then yes. If the card is a personal card, then his estate is responsible for payment of any outstanding debt. Since the business is part of his estate, if in probate it is determined that the business owes the debt, then yes, you or rather the business is responsible.
