My wife's sister died earlier this year. My wife is not the executor and has no other official connection to her sister's estate (and as far as we know, she was broke anyway). This week, she received a collection notice from a law firm looking for money for a $10,000 Discover credit card balance.
I'm assuming she can just ignore that. I'd like to respond saying she isn't responsible for her late sister's debts, but I'm afraid that doing so will just encourage them. Of course, if we do nothing, the firm may keep bugging her anyway and I don't want a barrage of letters and phone calls from the collection agency.
What's the best course of action here?
