Even if you are not personally liable, his estate wold be. How much are we talking about? Do not ignore them, speak with them, or authorize someone speak to them for you. Did he have insurance on the account? Many people do, and do not even realize it - check! If not, I expect they would settle for a fraction of the amount due. Ask them to remove any interest and penalties, and depending upon who much we are talking about, you can ask then to take a percentage of what was charged. Good luck.
