Question

if a parent passes and an adult child lived with that parent and the parent has a high mortgage balance, line of credit and credit car as debts, and the only asset is a car, can the adult child just assume the debts and not go to register of wills since there was no will.

Answer

No. The estate needs to be probated. Contact an attorney.
