No one is required to present a will for probate. However, if the will changes distribution in your favor, you have up to 4 years from the death to present a contesting will for probate.

Am I responsible for paying these medical bills after he passes and can anybody take the life insurance from me for his bills that are owed?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
That is a complicated question. You need to speak with an experienced estate attorney to go over homestead exemptions, policy ownership, policy amount, and available allowances as a surviving spouse under state law. There is not easy answer to your question, aside from you need to speak with an attorney to address options, which may include bankruptcy. Seek out legal assistance sooner rather than later.

Your attorney should be able to answer all your questions as to your duties. If not, many probate courts have guides on their websites to assist. Go to your local county's probate court's website to see if they have a guide available for download.
