The assumption is that the husband inherits the wife's assets. But the estate has to liquidate all assets before they can transfer them to him. typically and medical insurance that existed is in the husband's name and he is the gauranteer of the medical bills. 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.
