Legal Question in Bankruptcy in West Virginia

Credit Cards in my deceased husband's name

I am thinking about bankruptcy. I have many credit cards in my husband's name. Some I am an authorized user on. Others I have used, but am not listed as a user by the credit card issuer. If I file bankruptcy, may I include those card debts that are only in my deceased husband's name?

Debts for which you may be liable

>

If you suspect, believe or even doubt you may be held liable on a debt, include it on your petition. Even if you really are convinced you do not owe a debt, but someone else (the creditor) believes or may attempt for any reason to hold you liable, include the debt on any bankruptcy you may file.
