If a spouse's name is not on the home deed at the time of the husband's death, the property typically passes directly to the surviving spouse or heir, depending on state laws and whether there is a will. Creditors can generally only make claims against the deceased spouse's estate, not directly against the property unless the estate is responsible for the debts. However, if the surviving spouse co-signed any debts or if the debt was secured by the property, creditors may still pursue those claims. It's advisable to consult with a probate attorney for specific guidance based on the situation and jurisdiction.
