The Wife.
In Virginia, as in all states, the estate is responsible for all the debts of the deceased. That means before the estate can be settled, all medical bills have to be cleared. If there is not enough in the estate to cover them, the husband may not get anything.
The spouse is not directly responsible, unless they have co-signed for the services. The estate is responsible for settling all medical bills in Virginia. So before the spouse can inherit anything, the estate has to pay the bills.
If the deceased person is your wife then I think you are responsible for her medical bills
No she is not at all responsible for the bills.
You may be responsible, if it is not a legal separation.
yes
In Michigan the estate has the responsibility to settle all debts, including medical bills, not the husband. Once that is done, then remainder can be distributed to the husband.
yes, the wife has to deal with the bills
My husband just died about 6 months ago and no, i am not responsible for his medical bills....I have spoken with my Lawyer and he informed me in fl i do not have to cover ANY unpaid debt of a spouse
No they would not be responsible for the debt unless it was before they were divorced. The estate has to resolve the bills.
Indirectly, the estate is responsible for the medical bills of the deceased. Only after they are resolved can the estate be closed and any remainder distributed to the spouse.
my mother in law died last year and her husband was responsible for her medical bills. Over $200,000.
