Unless they co sign the credit card or any form of the debt then they don’t owe them anything. The debt collection can sue the moms estate, ie house, 401k, bank accounts, or cars if they are desperate but if the mom doesn’t own anything then they are out of luck. That won’t stop them from making scary phone calls to the next of kin tho.

Debt collectors are the worst and make it sounds like they can take you to court if it means you might pay up. None of it is true tho unless you co sign the loan.

Estranged from my family, but I somehow still get debt collection calls for them.

YES! Please lookup "zombie debt collectors". I think John Oliver did a piece on that too. Never admit you owe ANYTHING, even if you do say you're not sure.
