Best Answer

If you want to keep the car.

It depends on the state of residence. In community property states both parties are responsible for all debts incurred during the marriage. In non CP states the person(s) who made the loan agreement that created the liens are responsible for the debt.

Husband dies car in his name do you have to give car to his kids?

I believe it depends on what the husbands last wishes are. If the husbands last wishes are not clear then I believe that it goes to the next of kin which would be the wife. If there is dispute about who the car goes to you take it to court and the judge decides who gets it or he may order that you liquidate the asset and split the money.
