When someone dies, any debts they leave are paid out of their 'estate' (the money and property they leave behind). You're only responsible for their debts if you had a joint loan or agreement or provided a loan guarantee - you aren't automatically responsible for a husband's, wife's or civil partner's debts.

What happens when your son dies leaving an outstanding car loan?
My sympathies to you and your family. If you, your husband or anyone else in the family didn't cosign for a loan for the car then the debt ends. If there was a cosigner then the cosigner is responsible for the debt. If your son was not a minor and took the loan out himself and he has left a Will or has anything of value this debt will be paid off or written off.
