Short answer:
No, unless you were in joint debt.
In other words, if your parents had $20,000 of credit card debt and your name was also on that account, then yes, you would have to continue paying that debt.
Creditors can also go after your parents’ estate via probate. 😬
Consult with an experienced attorney if you are in that situation!
