Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas

debt and marraige

I have no debt whatsoever and have

worked hard for this.

I am engaged to an older man who

has debt. If he were to die after we

get married and his debt was not

paid off, would I be responsible for

the rest?

All of his debt was from before I

knew him. He has not aquired any

new debt.

Re: debt and marraige

His debt would be repaid from his estate. It would affect you only to the extent that your assets are commingled. The portion of the assets you acquire that belong to his estate would be liable for the repayment of debt.
