Is wife responsible for debts of deceased husband in the state of Ohio?

The estate has the responsibility. And 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 assets before they can transfer them to the spouse. One way or another, the spouse really ends up paying the debt. If there is more debt then assets, the debt will normally be closed out.
