Perhaps. The extent of liability of a surviving spouse depends upon the laws of the state in which the married couple lived at the time of the person's death and the type of debt(s). Joint accounts/debts are always the responsibility of the surviving spouse. Married couples who reside in community property states are generally equally liable for all debts incurred during the marriage regardless of which spouse is the actual account holder and when a spouse passes away. Two "CP" states have exceptions to the rule, those states are Texas and Wisconsin.
