My husband passed away with credit card debt only in his name.
All of our bank accounts are held jointly.
But our home was only in his name.
Can the credit cards companies get my home?
He died with a will.

Maybe: His estate is responsible to pay the bills and the credit card companies can sue the estate, get a judgment and seek to recover against any estate asset. This might include the house.This is a response to an Internet question and the reply is not intended to be legal advice or as creating an attorney-client relationship.
