Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida
Credit Card Debt
My husband passed away in February
while being treated in Houston, TX
for cancer. We had two residences,
one in Texas and one in Florida
which is where my husband resided
until I relocated. I would like to
know if I am respoonsible for his
credit card debt if he was the only
one on the account and if so, what is
expected of me by the creditors if I
am not a co-signor?
Please Advise.

Re: Credit Card Debt
If his estate is probated in Texas, the debts would be community property and you would be responsible. I can't speak for Florida law if his estate is probated there.
