Credit Cards & Death.

[Blib]

A relative recently died leaving an outstanding balance of around £4,000 on a credit card. She was married but the card was her own and not linked to her husband in any way.

Will the husband be liable for the debt? Or does it die with the person named on the card?

Thank you in advance.

Google is my friend. I have the answer that I need.

Shirley it's taken out of her estate as detailed in her will.

Usually everything would go to her husband (maybe something to the children) and the cc debt comes out of what's left - no?

Google Schmoogle - I'm too old to actually look for an answer. You'll be suggesting that I buy one of those fancy telephones next.
