They can come knocking all they want, but you are not legally required as an heir to pay that debt. Surely there are a few exceptions like mortgage payments (if u wanna keep the house), but personal debts like credit cards? Not your problem.

I don’t believe so. I was explicitly told by my lawyer not to pay any estate debts with my own money.
