In Massachusetts: Generally, a judge can assign a credit card debt to the other spouse in a divorce proceeding if the circumstances warrant such a redistribution. A creditor must make a claim within a statutory period against the estate of a deceased debtor. If an estate has not been filed in probate court a creditor may petition to administer the estate. The credit card company cannot make the decedent's relatives pay a debt that's only in the decedent's name.
