What happens if you use your parent's card after his death?

Answer

This is not a good idea. All creditors of the deceased should be notified, and all actions regarding their finances ceased. In most states the deceased assets and debts have to be filed with the Probate Court, even when there is a will. State laws govern Probate procedures. Under these circumstances the creditor can claim unauthorized use. And would probably hold the user responsible for any charges made. Perhaps even pursue illegal/fraudulent use charges.
