No, CO is a separate property state. The only way you can be responsible is if you signed any documents of financially responsibility.
s the spouse responsible for medical bills after death of a spouse in Colorado?
In Colorado the estate will be responsible. The spouse indirectly will pay, as they cannot inherit until they are resolved.
If the deceased person is your wife then I think you are responsible for her medical bills
In Colorado, 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.
No she is not at all responsible for the bills.
You may be responsible, if it is not a legal separation.
yes
The Wife.
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.
