The laws presume that the spouse inherits at least half, if not all, of the other spouse's assets. But the estate has to liquidate all debts before they can transfer any assets to the spouse. One way or another, the spouse ends up paying the debt. The spouse has some right in all real property owned by the husband. If the assets are not enough to cover the debt, the real property may have a lien placed against it to cover those debts.
