Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

husband will and debts?

I'm not left anything in my 2nd husband will. Am I responsible for 1/3 of his debts and funeral expenses? He has more debt than assests.

Re: husband will and debts?

Of course you are not responsible for other people's debts. If some of the debts were shared, that might be a different story. For example, a house mortgage remains the same. But a personal credit card for him would almost certainly not.

It's best for an attorney to review these issues IF there is substantial assets or hints of impropriety.
