Responsibility of Debt

[tmc0021]

If a spouse is deceased is the other spouse responsible for their debt? If so to what extent?

Yes it is possible but it depends on how you guys managed your finances.........You might want to give a short narrative and ask questions.

If there are loans and credit cards in one spouse's name is the other spouse responsible?

Again it depends on the circumstances. You can notify the lenders and send them the death certificate and see what they say. If he has any estate, it must be used to pay the bills. Have you started probate?
