I have a business contract and the other party has passed away. Do I need to pay the remaining balance to his spouse even though her name is not on the contract?

The answer to your question depends on the terms of the contract itself. You'll have to bite the bullet and have an attorney (preferably a business attorney who is admitted to practice in your jurisdiction, which I am not) take a look at it and advise you as to whether the contract requires you to pay your other party's heirs; this cannot be done through the freebie message boards.
