Am I Responsible for Paying the Deceased Spouse’s Bill?

20 September 2017 No Comment

If you and your spouse shared the same bank account and credit cards, checks, etc., then you may have to pay the bill. If the credit cards or accounts were opened with only your spouse’s information, then you may not be liable. Creditors usually collect their debts from the estate before the remainder is divided among the heirs. Each case depends on the circumstances. Talk to an experienced probate lawyer.
