Yes, it IS fraud, and the estate should NOT pay the debt, instead the trustee should turn in the criminal to the credit card company and point out that the estate of the deceased is not responsible for any debt incured after the death date. This would be fraud. I am sorry for your loss, and all of the trouble that you and your family are going through now. God Bless:)

If the AU is the heir of a deceased person, the deceased's estate or heirs MAY have liability for their debts. This would depend upon (their state's) inheritance laws and the terms of the will.
