In Ohio the debts of the deceased are the responsibility of the estate. Anyone that was also a co-signer on any of the agreements might also be responsible. Consult a probate attorney in your jurisdiction for help.

The husbands estate is responsible, but not the wife directly. The amount of the husbands debt will be subtracted from his assets after his death. His wife will usually inherit what is left, unless the husband left other instructions in his will (ie leave everything to charity). If the husband dies and his debt is larger than his assets, then the creditors usually lose the difference. This is all handled through probate court, and a judge can choose who gets what.

If your husband dies, you will be responsible for paying the mortgage since you volunteered to be the co-guarantor. If your name is not on the deed his interest will pass to his heirs according to the laws of your state unless he executes a will making you the sole beneficiary of his real estate.
