First, the estate must be probated. The filing of the probate will trigger the publishing of a notice that the person has died providing the creditors with an opportunity to make claims against the estate for unpaid debts.
The estate is responsible for paying the debts of the decedent. The debts must be paid before any assets are distributed to the heirs. The probate code in each state provides a priority scheme by which estate debts must be paid. It is especially important if there is not enough money in the estate to pay all the debts. The executor or administrator can be held personally responsible if the debts are not paid correctly or are paid in the wrong order or/and any funds are distributed to the heirs when unpaid debts exist.

What happens after the death of a parent when there are out standing bills?
If the parent's spouse is still living, that person may be solely responsible for paying off the debt. If both parents have passed away, the estate will be responsible for paying off most debts. In this case, any money left in accounts (savings, money market, investments, etc.) will go to paying the debts before money is given to beneficiaries. This is often a murky area of the law and with the economy in the tank you may have creditors calling you (or the executor of the will) seeking repayment on a debt. The best way forward would be to route these requests for repayment through the lawyer handling the execution of the will.
