Depending on the state you live in, you can be held responsible for your husband's debts because you are still married to him. You should talk to a lawyer.

If you join into a mortgage as a spouse but are not liable for the underlying indebtedness will this affect your credit rating?

You need to discuss this issue with an unbiased professional. If you "join into" a mortgage you are indeed liable for the underlying indebtedness. Otherwise the lender wouldn't ask you to sign the mortgage. If the mortgage goes into default it will not only affect your credit rating but the lender can go after you for payment.

If your mother in law is the executor of the will but does not have her name as an owner of a house and it is repossessed in the state of Georgia will it reflect on her credit?

It will affect her credit if she executed the mortgage along with her husband. If her name is not on the mortgage or the property then it will not affect her credit. She should consult with an attorney who can review the situation and determine what her options are. Perhaps the bank would accept a deed from the heirs in lieu of foreclosure.
