I recently let my guard down and let my wife talk me into making one of my rare visits to a nearby shopping mall - one of my least favorite places.

Before you make any promises to "settle" your relative’s accounts, whether a cellphone bill or credit card debt, know this: You probably don’t have to pay a dime out of your own pocket. The debt can be paid with the deceased’s estate and whatever you have inherited from it. But, although laws vary from state to state, heirs are not usually required to pay off the deceased’s bills with their own money.
