I am writing to inform you that my husband, (Name of deceased), recently passed away, and he had outstanding debts with your company.

The credit card company may request a copy of the death certificate or any paperwork relating to the estate. This is a great opportunity for you to reiterate your request to close the account in writing. If the account is a joint account, the issuer will simply remove your loved one's name from the account.
Using the credit report as your guide, contact all banks and credit card companies at which the deceased had an open account and close those accounts as quickly as possible. You will need to provide a certified copy of the death certificate to close the account.
The executor — the person named in a will to carry out what it says after the person's death — is responsible for settling the deceased person's debts. If there's no will, the court may appoint an administrator, personal representative, or universal successor and give them the power to settle the affairs of the estate.
