No. Not unless the creditor can prove the debt was for items you both used.
Yes, discharged debts are generally noted as "included in bankruptcy" on a CR.
Yes. The bank would ask for proof that you are the deceased persons spouse and also proof that the person is actually deceased (death certificate). Once you provide these two items, the bank will cash the check for you. Without them the bank will not take up the request.
Yes, they have to resolve all debts. Any distribution prior to that may require pulling the items back into the estate.
Yes, and this happens all the time. Do your research first though, because this is usually not a good idea. Negative items typically stay on your Credit Report for 7 years from the time of your last payment. When you settle with a debt collecter that starts your Seven years over from that date.
if the member and their spouses are getting a divorce the military will not pay to move the spouse wherever he/she may want to move to. if the member seperates the member is the only one they will move
That is part of their responsibility. They are to inventory and value all of the items in the estate. Then they settle all debts and distribute the remainder as the will or the intestacy law directs.
No. Mississippi is not a community property state. The state does, however, have a rather obscure "necessities" statute which pertains to those items purchased solely by a spouse on credit that can be defined as needed by the married couple as a whole. The statute is subject to many interpretations and therefore almost impossible for a creditor to use as a means of collecting debt owed from a surviving spouse.
No. Regardless of when the items were acquired, the Will leaves them to the surviving spouse. They now belong to the surviving spouse.
In most every case, the deceased person's estate is responsible for all debts. So, if the person owned any property (investments, house, auto, etc.), then the equity in those items would have to stand good for any debts (including medical bills). However, many hospitals try to get someone else (a spouse, relative, etc.) to sign paperwork at the time the person is admitted to the hospital stating that they will be responsbile for all charges should the person being admitted not pay. This is typically buried in the same print of the documents signed at the time of admission.
Indirectly they will pay in Georgia. The estate will be primary and the spouse is considered to have benefited from the purchased items.

This answer varies depending on which state you live in. In almost every state the answer to this would be "YES". Most states have the same laws as the sate I live in (OH). That is, if you are married (and haven't entered into a valid prenuptial agreement) all real estate and other assets or property owned by either spouse are community property and all debts in either spouses' name become the debts of BOTH parties and can be listed on both credit reports. This doesn't mean, however, that a reasonable judge wouldn't make reasonable decisions about property. For example, my grandmother gave me her china collection and a few pieces of valuable jewelry prior to marrying my husband. At the divorce hearing the judge awarded these items to me. My friend went through a divorce after being married for 25 years and was required to sell a farm that had been in her family for 4 generations even though it was in her name only. She had to split the proceeds with her spouse.
The Credit Card Companies would rather hound the woman than a guy because they feel they can instill more fear in the woman. If his name is on it (or her name) and they have signed for these items, then see a lawyer and haved a letter written up. By law, if the spouse who has the sole name on a credit card is still alive they are the ones that should be paying off the Credit Card Companies. The Credit Card Company will have you believe that because you are married to this person you are liable! Not true! Fight it! Good luck Marcy Spouses are not responsible for debts that are solely incurred unless the couple reside in a community property state. (Texas and Wisconsin laws have exceptions to marital debt responsibility.)
It is possible to do so. If the estate does not have enough assets to pay off the debts, these items must be sold to resolve the debts.
== == Probably not. Moving someone else's property without their consent is a civil matter, and the estranged spouse would have to prove you did it intentionally. You could say you "didn't know" whose stuff it was and that you had no reason to know she hadn't consented. The goods were not "stolen" as you did not intend to keep them and there was no robbery as the estranged spouse wasn't present. The worst you might face is replacement of goods if they were damaged or lost and the estranged spouse could prove you were negligent. Yes it is their property and must be taken through the proper authorities. YES YOU CAN, DEPENDING ON THE ITEMS IT CAN BE CHARGED ILLEGAL POSSESION OR ROBBERY. YOU MUST BE VERY CAREFUL WERE YOU MOVED THE ITEMS TO. IF IT WAS NOT A SAFE PLACE THERE CAN BE ALSO A CIVIL SUIT FOR THE VALUE OF THE ITEMS. ALWAYS VARIFY WITH A LAYWER IN CASE I'M WRONG. I'M NOT A LAWYER, BUT I KNOW A GREAT DEAL. GOOD LUCK AND NEXT TIME BE MORE COUSIOUS. BYE BYE.
Your wife is considered responsible for your debts. The logical reason for this is that she benefits from your money. If you go into debt to buy a home, car, personal items, food, etc., for the both of you, she is receiving their use.
