In the state of Georgia if a spouse receives life insurance benefits is the surviving spouse responsible for the deceased spouse debt if surviving spouse's name is not on any of the debt owed?

In Georgia, as in most states, life insurance proceeds to a named beneficiary become the property of the beneficiary and are therefore not accessible to the creditors of the decedent. Of course, this does not apply to joint debt between the spouses or any debt solely in the name of the surviving spouse. In short, if the surviving spouse's name is not on the debt of the decedent, the surviving spouse has no legal obligation to pay such debt.

In Connecticut, a surviving spouse is generally not personally liable for the deceased spouse's credit card debts unless they were a joint account holder. However, the deceased spouse's estate is responsible for settling any outstanding debts, including credit cards, before distributing assets to heirs.

It's advisable for the surviving spouse to consult with a probate attorney for guidance specific to their situation.


When a couple owns a lot of property in Georgia and one dies does all the property go to the spouse?

In Georgia, whether all property goes to the surviving spouse depends on how the property is titled and whether the deceased spouse left a will. If the property is jointly owned with the right of survivorship, it automatically passes to the surviving spouse. However, if the property is solely in the deceased spouse's name and there is no will, Georgia's intestacy laws dictate that the property may be divided among the surviving spouse and any children. It is advisable to consult an attorney for specific legal guidance in such situations.
