If the bill was for essential medical Cate, the spouse might be liable. However. In most situations, a spouse isn't responsible for their spouse's debts, unless they acknowledged sang assumed the debt while the spouse is alive. The decreased spouse's estate is still liable, which might affect the surviving spouse's interests.

Good luck
