Is a child responsible for a single father's burial and debt?
The estate of a deceased father, rather than the surviving child, is responsible for any unpaid debts. If the father did not have any assets at the time of his death, then there is no estate and the remaining debts cannot be collected, and must be written off. As for the burial, most people do want their parents to receive an appropriate burial, or cremation, or whatever their particular family or religious tradition may be, but that is not a legal requirement. If you do not want to arrange for the burial of your father, you are not compelled to do so.
