Am I responsible for my dead husband's hospital and doctor bills?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
First, if any property of your husband will go through probate (not jointly owned) then the probate estate should handle his debts. Second, if no probate, the answer is probably. As with any legal question, always best to have legal advice from a lawyer who represents you, and is looking out for your interests. The general rule in Oregon is that spouses are liable for expenses of the family, and these would generally include medical expenses. Also, in general if you inherit property you are liable for the decedent's debts to the extent of the value of what you inherited. That said, hospitals and medical providers will normally work with you. Some have deals with no-interest credit providers; others will reduce or write off their bills. The Oregon State Bar has a lawyer referral service. You can get referred to some estate lawyers who will meet with you for a consultation at a set fee.

Should I create a trust or will to leave my house to my cousin?

Brian Chew
Answered by attorney Brian Chew
Estate Planning lawyer at OC Wills and Trust Attorneys
If you would like your cousin to inherit your home if you pass on, you should have a living trust created and place your home within the trust so that your cousin can avoid the high costs and delays of probate. Also be inheriting your property, your cousin will be given a stepped up basis in your property and thus receive the most favorable tax treatment.
