My husband has termial cancer and I was wondering when he passes will I be responible for any credit card debts he has and any of his medical bills? We live in the state of Ohio.
Debts of the spouse are considered to have benefited both of them. He can be held responsible for the debts.
No, the spouse is not responsible. However it does come out there assets left behind.
s the spouse responsible for medical bills after death of a spouse in Colorado?
when you are married and your spouse don't pay his / her medical bills are you responsible for the bills when your name not on the bills and when they call they don't ask for me they ask for him and can they report it to the credit report
depending on who was using the card, that's who's fault it would be... I'm going to assume since it was your spouse's credit card, that your spouse is then responsible for it.
The spouse is not responsible and should not have this on her credit. But the estate of the deceased will still be responsible for the debt.
No
The estate of the credit card holder. If the surviving spouse was an approved user, or co-signee they would also be responsible.
If nothing else, the spouses Estate would have to pay it, if there was $$$ for more info see www.steveshorr.com/estate.planning.htm
Half and half.
Yes
If the two of you are married, I believe you are responsible.
