You will need to provide a certified copy of the death certificate, a copy of your identification, and proof of your authority over the estate (e.g., a marriage certificate for a spouse or a Letter of Testamentary or court order naming you as the executor).
Your credit card liability will be passed on to your estate. Your estate will be responsible for paying off any remaining balance on your credit card. If you do not have sufficient funds in your estate to cover the balance, the credit card issuer may pursue legal action to collect the debt.
Notify the credit card issuer of the death. If the primary cardmember has died, their spouse or the executor of the estate should notify the credit card company as soon as possible to close the account. This can help prevent unintentional use of the card.
