Re: deceased spouse's debts
It depends. If you are in Nevada that means you are in a community property state which, generally, makes it more likely you can be required to pay certain debts of your spouse. I do not give specific legal advice to people via this service but just try to give a general alert to people about possible legal issues. I suggest you consult with an attorney about the specifics of your situation. Bankruptcy relief may also be an option for you.
