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.
Is a divorced spouse of 10 years responsible for credit card debt after the ex-husband dies?
If the debt is less that seven years old and if the spouse was a joint account holder, then the spouse would be responsible for the debt. If, however, it was a separate account or the surviving spouse was only an authorized user on the account, they are not responsible for the debt. * The 7 years relates to the length of time that the information can remain on the credit report. There is no time limit on debt collection only on the amount of time that the creditor has to pursue legal action to recover money owed (debt statute of limitations). You would be responsible for a joint account only, although it is not unusual for creditors to attempt to collect from authorized user's whether or not they are a spouse of the account holder.

If a husband dies will a wife be responsible for the mortgage debt even if she is not on the note?
His estate will be responsible for the mortgage. Assuming the wife is not on the deed, if the mortgage isn't paid the bank will foreclose and take possession of the property covered by the mortgage. If the wife is on the deed and she consented to the mortgage the bank can foreclose. If she is on the deed and did not consent to the mortgage then the bank had a defective title and may not be able to foreclose.

Is a wife responible for a credit card debt if her husband dies?
The husbands estate is responsible, but not the wife directly. The amount of the husbands debt will be subtracted from his assets after his death. His wife will usually inherit what is left, unless the husband left other instructions in his will (ie leave everything to charity). If the husband dies and his debt is larger than his assets, then the creditors usually lose the difference. This is all handled through probate court, and a judge can choose who gets what.
