My husband of two years suffered a trumatic brain injury a week ago and had to hospitalize without any medical insurance. He has a mortgage on his house and I have a mortgaage on my house. My car is paid for and so is his. My assets were all purchased before we got married. Can his medical creditors lein or seize any of my assets pre marriage?

Because the debt is community, they can pursue community assets. If separate property is commingled, it is seizable but separate property generally is exempt.
