Is the surviving spouse responsible for debt created solely in the name of a deceased when there are no assets to be sold by the estate because there were none in the deceased's name only?

Depends on the state you live in. If it is a community property state, all debts and assets are considered to belong to both spouses. If not, then only the person who signed the contractual agreement is responsible. However, jointly titled assets are not necessarily exempt from creditors. It depends on how they are held and what they are.

After divorce are you liable for credit card debt in your wife's name only incurred while married?

In a community property state both spouses are equally responsible for debts. The rest of the states consider only the account holder responsible. A few states have laws referring to debts that are considered necessities being chargeable to both spouses. These laws are vague and seldom enforceable, creditors sometimes cite them in an attempt to get the non-debtor spouses to pay.

You need to contact your Attorney General about this one. You will get the correct answer based on NY law. Read your contract it should state if there is any "linkage" between the loans.

Can the state of North Carolina charge for personal property when they repossess your car?

The state doesn't repossess your car - private companies do that on behalf of the lienholder. They don't charge you for private property left in your car when they repossess it - that would be illegal. They charge a "storage fee" for the items they remove from your car. Underhanded, yes, but they can legally do it.
