Can the bank you have a second mortgage with and a credit card with attach that credit card to your second mortgage after a person is deceased?

Once a person is deceased all debt is completely erased from that person's credit. If they own a home and do not have a will nor a co-signer of the home loan the government will take over the ownership of that home. If they have credit card debt, the debt is forgiven and no longer in existense.

A person is in credit card debt when they have charges on their credit card and can not pay them. A person can make charges on a credit card and make payments at a later date. When a person charges on their credit card, the charge is now a debt that must be paid.


If you add second person to credit card will it show up on their credit report?

Yes, it does show up on that persons credit report. If you are late on payments, it will negatively impact his/her credit report.

Applying for a credit card does not mean that a person has to us it. It is advisable that the person does not cancel the card, as this actually is harmful to credit scores, while having an unused credit card can be beneficial for credit scores.
