If your mother passes away and has about 30 thousand dollars in credit card debt how do you stop creditors from putting a judgement on the property?

Answer

You can't. Any property titled in the deceased name will be included in probate proceedings. The assets will be totaled up and debts will be paid, secured debts having priority. Some property is not subject to probate or creditor attachment. State statutes govern what is included in the estate and what can be exempted from liquidation in paying creditors and taxes.
