Re: Debts
Generally speaking, the spouse is not legally responsible to pay a deceased spouse's debts which are in the deceased's name only. There could be exceptions and creditors are very tricky, so I would make sure you consult with a skilled probate attorney to make sure your rights. Visit www.kliszlaw.com to discuss details.
