Are you talking about the estate of you and your spouse? If you were married, then the estate will automatically be yours anyway. It would possibly be a different situation if you were divorced or separated.

The executor is responsible for collecting all debts owed to the estate. If the deceased did not write such intentions down it must be assumed that the debt is still owed. If the Executor is the one making false claims, other benificiaries may want to consult with a lawyer, especially if the estate is substantial.


Is a husband responsible for his wifes child support payments?

If her deceased husband overpaid his child support his estate could sue to recoup the amount of the overpayment. His widow must petition to be appointed his estate representative and that appointment would provide her with the authority to bring suit. Of course, all the costs associated with that action must be considered and the amount of the overpayment must be large enough to warrant such an action. Keep in mind that minor children have a claim to their father's estate in most jurisdictions.
