Exactly. You don't inherit debt, because you can't inherit stuff the person was only borrowing.

There goes my plan of maxing out credit cards on stuff to bequeath.

My dad did this. Was almost 70k in unsecured debt at the time of his death. I gave most everything away except his fishing stuff. He had so much shit.

Only one credit card company said “it’s good you are taking over the payments”. Told her I never agreed to that, just informing you of his death, and if they contact me again my Saul level lawyer is going to enjoy that lawsuit. Never heard from them.

Don’t ever assume the debt of someone else.

Aw damn, I'm glad you knew better, that's downright predatory and should be illegal. You know there are people out there now paying their parents' credit card bills, thinking that that's just how things are. I hope that when those people find out, they are entitled to getting every penny back with interest.
