      I’m not a lawyer but I thought there’d have to be a victim for charges, maybe it the next of kin?

        Also, who’s going to pay the new charges she racked up? It’s kinda like credit fraud at this point. Next of kin aren’t really responsible for those bills (unless he was married or something). I’m sure there’s some law they can pin on her lol

          Any outstanding debts are the responsibility of the person’s estate. The estate is never going to have to pay out more than it’s worth, but anyone that the dead person owed money to is going to get paid first.
