What Happens to Bills and Debts After Someone Dies? (A Guide for Families and Executors)

When someone passes away, their bills and debts don’t just disappear, but that doesn’t mean their family has to rush to pay everything immediately. In this episode, we explain how debts are handled after death, what families (especially executors) need to do, and what to expect if no one has access to the deceased’s money yet. We’ll also clear up common fears about personal liability and explain how reimbursement works when someone covers bills out of pocket.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

⚠️ Why family members are usually not personally liable
📆 Which bills can wait — and which can’t
🏠 How to prevent foreclosure, damage, or utility shutoffs
🧾 How to get reimbursed if you front estate-related expenses
