An older family member of mine has a large amount of credit card debt and their only major asset is the house that they currently live in. From what I’ve read it seems that creditors will liquidate all of their assets including the house in order to try and cover the debt upon their death.

One of their children wants to purchase the house or assume the mortgage from them now and become the new owner. If the house is sold/transferred in this manner and no longer belongs to my older family member with the large debt, will creditors try to come after her child upon her death?
The house is located in Florida.

The deceased if the seller needs to keep the house before the only thing the banking system otherwise that once the person is open the money would now be the only thing the deceased has no estate of.
First, they cannot assume the mortgage, they will have to get their own mortgage. If the house is sold at market, and is a true sale (ie deed is in the relative’s name) then this can work. However, if the current owner dies very shortly after the sale, the credit card company might try to claim that the sale was not true.
But overall, there might not be much point in doing this. If the sale price of the house is less than the mortgage balance, the bank will probably not allow the sale (this is a short sale). If there is no mortgage, or if it is smaller than the value of the house, the current owner will have the excess cash anyway and unless they are planning to spend it all while keeping the credit card debt, this will go to the credit card company on their death to cover the debts.
