Best Answer

Generally a surviving spouse will only be responsible for debts related to medical expenses of a deceased spouse is he or she has entered into a written contract accepting said responsibility.

Rhode Island is not a community property state and therefore the surviving spouse would not, assuming he or she has not agreed in writing to do so be liable for medical bills (hospital, doctors, etc.) incurred for the care of a deceased spouse. Nevada is a community property state, therefore the surviving spouse might be held accountable for such debts. All assets and debts accumulated during a marriage in a CP state are considered to be jointly owned and jointly owed regardless of which spouse is the receipient of a debt or asset.
