Would an estate be liable to pay a claim that was previously included in the deceased bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy is an extremely complex area of law. You should have the situation reviewed by the attorney who is handling the estate. Perhaps you could also contact the attorney who handled the bankruptcy to determine if the process was completed and if you could obtain a list of the creditors who were addressed in that proceeding.

If the card was only in the deceased's name AND the surviving spouse was not a listed authorized user AND the surviving spouse never used the card for his/her own purchases, the spouse is not responsible for the debt. The estate is liable for the debt, so no assets of the estate can be distributed to the heirs at law or by will until the debts of the estate have been paid. If the debts exceed the estate's assets, it may file for bankruptcy of the estate under state law. Consult a local experienced bankruptcy lawyer.
Is term life insurance considered part of a deceased persons estate if the deceased person is being sued. I was his wife and benificary of the term life insurance?
In your case, no, the proceeds will not be included in the estate of the decedent. Since you were the named beneficiary the proceeds pass directly to you. Of course, upon your death they will be included in your estate. Whether or not a judgment against your husband will allow the other party to go after your assets is obviously a more complicated question. But the life insurance is not part of his estate.
