Estate Planning lawyer at Horn & Johnsen SC
If your parents reside in a community property state, or in a marital property state, then your mother would likely be held responsible for any debts your father incurred during marriage. Note that there are rare exceptions to this rule, and your mother may wish to consult with an attorney regarding her options. On the other hand, your father's children would likely not be held responsible for his debts, unless they entered into some type of personal guarantee.

If you are not married, then only if he left you something in his will. If he did not, then you are probably not entitled to anything.
