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.

How do I leave everything to my kids?

Estate Planning lawyer at Kroll Proukou, LLP
Under NY law you are unable to disinherit a spouse. They are entitled to a statutory share. There are techniques to accomplish your goals but they require some extra planning steps and the consent of your spouse.

Answered by attorney Kathleen Delacy (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Reger Rizzo & Darnall, LLP
Creditors can file a claim against the estate. A will should be filed but unless enough assets no need for probate. Yes you can do it with a lawyer.
