Maybe.
In some community property states a surviving spouse is responsible for all the debts that were incurred during the marriage even if he or she did not hold the account.
My husband has termial cancer and I was wondering when he passes will I be responible for any credit card debts he has and any of his medical bills? We live in the state of Ohio.
Not as long as the bills are paid in a timely matter in accordance with the agreement that was made.

He passes away in 2001.
When a husband passes away, HE is a deceased spouse. I think you may be looking for these words:A woman whose husband passed away is a widow.A man whose wife passed away is a widower.If the surviving spouse remarries, he or she is no longer a widower/widow.
No one. The family is not responsible for the debt. Credit cards want people to think they are, but it is volunteer to pay/assume the debt of the person who passed away.
This is tough because the laws vary by state so you really have to your own research. I will say; however, that if your husband used that card for "family use", i.e.: food, bills, etc. then you can be held liable. Also, if you ever signed a credit card receipt then you can be found liable because you are then deemed to have implied authorization.
No.
Yes num nuts pay your bills
The power of attorney ends with the death of the grantor. Someone will open an estate in order to settle the debts.
