The debts of the deceased are the responsibility of the descesed's estate. The estate must resolve the debts before any money goes to the heirs. Consult a probate attorney in your jurisdiction for help.

From your question it would appear that your husband died without leaving any money or property, if this is the case then there would be no money available to settle debts. However, if your hsband and you shared ownwrship of your house then his half of the house would be liable to settle these debts. If you are in problems the best course of action is to see an attorney.
