Re: Spouse Liability
Normally, all outstanding debts of a deceased person are paid outof the estate. However, the total paid out for debt cannot go over certain statutory amounts to keep the surviving spouse from becoming destitute. If you need more information, please contact my office for an appointment. I don't charge a fee for the first visit.
Thank you!
