In Maryland, and every other state, the estate is responsible for the debts. However, most insurance requires the insurance holder, normally the husband, to guarantee the costs. So indirectly, the spouse will pay because they will not inherit the money that went to pay the debt.
Both of you, together and individually!
No unless his name is on any debt or contract.
Normally the spouse is held liable for the debt. The presumption is that they benefited by the goods and services.
The husband's estate is responsible. If she was a co-signer or beneficiary of the debt, she will have some responsibility.
If the debt is on a shared account, then yes, the wife's pay can be garnished even if the husband was the one who ran the debt up.
nomally
Sadly, no.
Ask yourself the question that if the husband purchased a lottery ticket and the ticket was a winner, would the payments be partly the wife's?
Yes
Well, it depends.....................
It really depends on the situation.
Her estate is responsible for the debt. In most cases he will have to pay from the estate or his own pockets.
