The estate will be responsible, so it would be a good idea to open one. The spouse indirectly will pay, as they cannot inherit until they are resolved.
Indirectly. The estate of the deceased husband is responsible for resolving all of his debts. Since the widow is going to be the primary beneficiary of the estate, she will inherit less because the estate has to pay the debt.
While the estate has primary responsibility, in most cases the debtors can hold the wife responsible. They are deemed to have benefited from to goods and services.
