The assumption is that the wife inherits at least half, if not all, of the husband's assets. But the estate has to liquidate all the credit card debts before the can transfer any remainder 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.

If the admittance documents indicate otherwise the person who presents the forms to be signed must inform the involved parties of that fact before allowing them to sign.
