Credit card debt doesn't go away when the cardholder passes away. It must be repaid from your estate, which means your loved ones may receive a reduced inheritance — or no inheritance at all. Related: What happens to a bank account when somebody dies?

Last but not least, contact all three of the major national credit bureaus and request a credit freeze. This helps prevent anyone from opening new credit cards or accounts in the name of the deceased. (They can do so if they know their name, Social Security Number, and other personal information.)

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.

Notifying creditors after a loved one's death It is usually posted in a newspaper with both local and national circulation to ensure creditors see it. A notice will contain the name of the person who passed away, the deadline for creditors to make claims, and the address they should contact.

If your loved one had credit cards, those credit cards will need to be canceled once they pass away. This is not typically something that automatically happens once someone dies, so it's an important task to complete. Try to get organized beforehand with the names of accounts and passwords.

It's quite easy to notify the credit card companies; be sure to obtain copies of your loved one's death certificate for proof of their passing. Simply contact the major credit bureaus to have their credit report flagged, and contact each financial company listed on the report to notify them of the death.
