In general, unless the will provides otherwise, a divorce revokes certain provisions for the ex-spouse. With respect to the particular facts of your ex-husband's will I suggest consulting an attorney for more specific advice.

You should not be held responsible for the debts of your ex-husband. Creditors cannot collect from you unless your name is on the accounts. However, creditors can collect from his estate. The will may still be valid as to his bequesthments to you. Please contact me for further explanation.
