We know that tax obligations survive the bankruptcy filing; however, if a single-stockholder C corporation files for bankruptcy, what, if any, is the obligation of the stockholder's spouse and surviving children should he become deceased.

Re: Tax Obligations
In general, neither a surviving spouse nor children would be responsible for the debts of the decedent husband/father. His assets, however, may be subject to seizure in order to satisfy his debts, either before or after death. In order to answer your question correctly, I would need to explore more detailed facts. I would suggest you seek the advice of an attorney. If you want to speak with me, feel free to call me at 856-546-8010. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
