Legal Question in Consumer Law in California
In California, if your spouse has taken out a loan in his name only, and then dies, is the remaining spouse legally obligated to finish paying on the loan. My friends husband died 3 years ago, and she is struggling on SS. She has continued to pay the loan with great difficulty as the loan people have put a lot of pressure on her, but would like to stop. Can she?
