<prompt> Human: My mom just passed away at 93. For the last several years, I was on her checking account in order to help pay some of her bills and generally just keep an eye on her fixed Social Security income. Last week, I closed her account via telephone with no outstanding checks or debits, etc. There was literally 8 in her account, which the customer service rep transferred to my account. I thought that was that. Now, however, the bank is asking for a death certificate after the fact, etc. If theres any additional debt tied to her bank account that I dont know about, can the bank seek repayment from MY account at the same bank that is solely in my name? For example, she had an open credit card account issued from the same bank. She didnt use it that I know of, but if theres 100 unsettled on that card, for example, can they trace repayment back to my account that is solely in my name? Thanks.  <response>: No. But you should make sure that the bank, and anyone else she dealt with, knows she has passed. Call social security and make sure they know her social security number should be closed. Notify credit reporting agencies so no one can apply for credit with her number.
