inheritance of credit card debt

[aphrod28]

when I die, do my children inherit my credit card debt?

No. Your estate is responsible for the debt. Any assets will have to be sold to pay the debts of the estate in the order of precedence set by your state. Usually the funeral home, attorney and doctors get theirs first.

Are the children on the credit card account as a responsible party?
