Inheriting Spouse’s Debts
Wednesday, February 4th, 2009My question is about each married individuals responsibilities in case of the death of the other. I will use my husband and I as an example. We have separate bank accounts, separate loans, separate credit cards except for our heating utility company. Our marriage is the second for each of us. While I have established a very good credit history, my current husband has bad credit. Will I be responsible for paying off his debts if he should die first? I have NEVER used his credit cards and my name is not on any accounts of his. Our cars are also only listed in his name or mine. Nancy
