It will depend on whether she was listed in the debt documents. In most cases the estate will be responsible and if there are not enough assets, the debt goes unpaid.
Joint filers are both responsible for the entire tax bill. If the unpaid taxes are from a year that the couple filed jointly, the wife is fully responsible for any unpaid taxes unless she can meet the qualifications for innocent spouse relief. After the filing deadline, a joint return cannot be amended to separate returns. If there are unpaid taxes from 2008, the wife can still file a separate return for 2008. If a joint return has been filed for 2008, they have until April 15, 2009 to amend.
You file a claim with the court (they should have a form you can use) along with proof that your father owed you the money. Once you file it the executor must pay the debt.
How do I report an unpaid bill to a credit bureau?
unpaid taxes are listed online under whatever house they are on
My husband just died about 6 months ago and no, i am not responsible for his medical bills....I have spoken with my Lawyer and he informed me in fl i do not have to cover ANY unpaid debt of a spouse
No, if they were not joint debtor's with the deceased they are not responsible for any of his or her debts.
Sadly, no.
The estate is responsible for the debts of the deceased. The executor is not personally responsible for them.
The estate is responsible for any remaining debts. That will include medical bills. If there is not enough in the estate to cover them, someone will not get paid.

It is not the parents, but the estate that is responsible for any remaining debts. That will include medical bills. If there is not enough in the estate to cover them, someone will not get paid.
If there is a will, the executor makes all mortgage payments from the estate of the deceased.
Unless the survivors signed some type of contract or agreement to be responsible for the deceased's medical bills, it is the deceased's ESTATE which is liable for the expense. The medical suppliers should first file a claim against the insuror and THEN proceed against the deceased's estate for any unpaid remainder - NOT the survivors.
The wife is who ever gets a deceased persons assets also gets their dept also since he was her husband it would have no longer been his debt but instead their dept. All money made in a marriage is the money of both partners equally along with all of the dept even if one person had it before the marriage both become reasonable for paying it.
The estate is responsible of course. No they are not personally responsible for the debt. One of the primary reasons to open an estate is to resolve such debts. The estate has to pay off the debts. If the estate cannot do so, they distribute as best they can. If the court approves the distribution, the debts are ended.
Yes, it is the responsibility of the primary insurance holder. The admission papers are also likely to have specified this.
