If I set up an AI agent, and then die, who is responsible if it starts breaking the law and doing damage?

[paulddraper]

Your estate.

Imagine the AI is a tree in your yard. And that it fell over on someone’s house.

Bold of you to assume there's an estate.

Also, I imagine that if people don't inherit debts, thrusting responsibility for a rampant entity without the inheritor'a consent is unethical.

your next of kin

Is that the same if you owned property, you let it deteriorate, someone went on the property and fell in a ditch. Who's responsible?
