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

Rudolf Jon Karvay
Answered by attorney Rudolf Jon Karvay (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Berkman, Henoch, Peterson Peddy, P.C.
The answer to your question is rather complicated. Generally, unless you are contractually obligated, a joint debtor or co-signor you are not responsible for your deceased husband's debts. If your husband died with assets (money or property), then his estate may be responsible for the debts. The executor or administrator of the estate will need to negotiate and pay your husband's debts to the extent that there are sufficient assets to pay. If your husband died with no assets, then the debts do not get paid. However, medical creditors may seek to hold you liable under the doctrine of "medical necessaries." In order to do so, a creditor must show that the services were rendered based upon your credit. In addition, the creditor must show that the amounts alleged to be owed are commensurate with your means. I suggest that you seek out the advice of an attorney for a more detailed examination of your particular circumstances.

How can I find out more information about my mother's estate?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
You say your brother "entered your mom's estate. Does that mean he has filed for administration of the estate with the probate court? If yes, then the court proceeding will say what your mother owned, and there will be an accounting of how it is expended. If you know of specific assets that aren't included in the probate filing, you can raise that issue with the court. I'm sorry to say that it may well not be true "there is no way everything is gone." Many, many Americans now exhaust their entire estate paying for health care and long term care at the ends of their lives.

Will the IRS take the home left to my brother in a will? How?

Randall C. Romei
Answered by attorney Randall C. Romei (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Ashcraft & Ashcraft, Ltd.
The IRS has the ability to attach their tax lien to any property owned by the tax debtor. This means the IRS could execute the lien against the property and force a sale with the proceeds applied to pay off the tax lien. Even if the IRS did not force a sale the lien would have to be paid if the property were sold in a private sale and the lien paid off before the net proceeds are received by the owner.
