You should contact an attorney in New Jersey to get an exact answer..However, normally if you have not signed the credit card contract, or any contract, you will not be held liable to the debts of a deceased spouse..Remember..A creditor can go after the estate of a deceased spouse. * No, New Jersey is not a community property state, therefore marital debts that are not jointly held belong solely to the spouse who held the account. All non exempt assets and debts of the deceased are entered into probate procedure and handled according to the state probate laws.
