Although this GAI article seems well written, the part about the credit card debt being the responsibility of the writer and his brother is "dead" wrong in most states. Unless you were a co-owner or co-borrower of some sorts of those accounts, when that person dies, only the estate is responsible for those debts. If there is not enough money from the estate, then the credit cards do not get paid.
