As a general rule no. Children are generally not responsible for a living parents debt. Though if you have a joint checking with that parent the money in the account whether yours or there's is subject to being seized as if it was all there's by creditors. Also if you have ever cosigned for a parent you would be subject to repayment of the debt if your parent defaults.

∙ 12y agoIf the children are adults and are not a party to the suit then none of their assets (personal or real property) would be subject to a plaintiff's judgment.
Assets/property of minor children are not attachable if they are in the child's name, such as bank accounts, college funds, etc. even if a parent is named as the conservator.
However, in some instances of dual ownership the judgment creditor might still attempt to attach the property, so it is would be in the best interest of the parent(s) to seek a legal opinion on such property.

What are the legal ramifications of a step parent signing legal documents for a minor?
You haven't explained what documents you refer to. Generally, the documents aren't binding since the step-parent has no legal authority to sign for the child. Also, it may constitute fraud since the step parent knows they do not have legal authority and they went ahead and signed as the parent. BY signing they may place the other party in jeopardy if the other party doesn't know they have no legal authority. They may be sued by the parent if they placed the child in a situation the parent did not approve.You haven't explained what documents you refer to.
