Without some other duty owed the creditor (ie: cosigner on a loan, executor of estate obligated to pay creditor out of estate assets), there is no responsibility for the sibling of the deceased to pay the debts of the deceased. Further, the executor of an estate has no personal liability to pay debts of the deceased beyond the available funds of the estate.
