Since they were in his name only, is my mother responsable for paying off my fathers debt? If Mom does not pay Dad's monthly credit card bill will this effect Mom's credit? Mom is 82 Years old and might need a loan for funeral & burial costs & /or a reverse mortgage. Will not paying her husbands credit card debt adversly affect her credit & chances for a loan when needed? House has been in an irrevocable trust for 4 years. Mom has no assets . Minimal amount in savings $4000.00 with monthly $950.00 SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK & $400.00 pension check. That's it .Nothing more & nothing else. Dad was the only name on the cards & if there were charges made to these cards while he was alive & were his wife's or daughter's charges are they responsible for repayment? Dad had also sighned a notorized letter stating that his daughter and wife has, had, and have the right to use and sign his name to the account now, and in the past and in the future. Now there are No charges after his death. Default?
