If your parents have left a will then it is the responsibility of the executor of the will to pay all of the deceased persons debts and also to collect any monies owed to the deceased person.
Generally if both parents are deceased and died intestate, their five children and the children of any deceased child would be the next-of-kin. You can check your state laws of intestacy at the related question link below.
That depends on whether or not they have any children, grandchildren, siblings, or if their parents are still living. If they have children, then the children are the next of kin. If they had children and the children are deceased, yet had children of their own, then the grandchildren would be the next of kin. If there are no grandchildren either, then the parents are next of kin. If the parents are deceased, then the siblings would be next of kin. If they have no children, grandchildren, siblings or surviving parents or grandparents, then the closest blood relatives would be their next of kin, such as aunts and uncles, cousins, etc. in that order.

You tell me.
Yes.
No. The age of the children is not relevant unless they are adults who entered into a financial agreement with the parents. For example joint holders of a credit card account. The estate of deceased person(s) is responsible for paying any debts in the manner prescribed by the probate laws of the state where the person lived at the time of their death.
No deduction on your federal 1040 income tax return for any of the expenses for the upkeep of your deceased parents.
Typically they shouldn't be. The debts of the deceased are the responsibility of the estate. Anyone that was also a co-signer on any of the agreements might also be responsible. Consult a probate attorney in your jurisdiction for help.
