Creditor is an interested party under California Probate Law. Bank can open a probate to administer the estate; even if the assets are in trust or pass by operation of law [joint tenant etc] Creditor gets appointed administrator of the estate, makes claim against the estate, then obtains probate order to sell assets of the decedent to pay claim. The claim gets paid and the bank collects a statutory fee based on the gross value of the decedentcourt collection.
I witnessed Wells Fargo petition for probate in Ventura to collect a $3,200 credit card. The Ventura probate judge was not happy with Wells Fargo, but he granted the petition for probate by WF
Also, in recent years my healthy business clients have complained that the bank wants their personal guarantee and their spouses personal guarantee.

Holly:
Most credit cards for small corps have both the corp's name and the individual debtor's name on them. Best check the card, because if the human's name was on the card, the card issuer can make a claim in probate, or sue the spouse.

Would creditors have to sue the corp and pierce the corporate veil to get to the community property? Would only the CP be liable for the debt, and not the widow's SP?

Spouse owned a single shareholder corporation which he started prior to
marriage. During marriage it incurred credit card debt. Spouse died. Does
wife have to pay the business credit card debt of deceased spouse?
Would creditors have to sue the corp and pierce the corporate veil to get
to the community property? Would only the CP be liable for the debt, and
not the widow's SP?
California is a community property state.
