We got it so he would be able to purchase things his cash income didn't cover.The account is not in my name and the bill is only addressed to him. Am I responsible for paying off the debt on this card at his death, if any. He does not have any assets only his VA Aide & Attendance Benefit, SS and a pension he inherited from his wife.
He lives with my family and I and I provide full time care for him. He suffers from advanced Parkinson's and advanced dementia.
Thank you
So, this really doesn't answer your question of whether you'd be responsible. I think I don't know the legal answer to that. I would presume that his estate would be responsible.
In my opinion, people who incur debt, should understand that it will have to be paid, it is a LOAN. Why should the bank be left holding the bag?
