My wife's father passed away just before Christmas leaving behind some substantial credit card debt. He left behind no estate and no last Will. I was coaxed into paying for the funeral as well as cleaning up all lose ends after his passing, at the time not knowing what I was getting into. I have been returning his credit card bills with a copy of his death certificate, the whole time remaining anonymous. Are my wife and I going to be somehow help responsible for her fathers debt? As I mentioned, he left nothing behind except sorrow and debt. Where do I go from here? Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks
