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.

Can we force the land to be divided?

Answered by attorney Rudolf Jon Karvay (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Berkman, Henoch, Peterson Peddy, P.C.
If the parcel can be divided into four equal shares, the court may order a physical partition. The partition proceeding would be started by a filing with the court.

How can I guarantee that all the assets my spouse inherited from our marriage go to our child and not to the new spouse if I die first?

Answered by attorney Loren M Lambert (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Arrow Legal Solutions Group, P.C.
You cannot if you name your spouse as the sole beneficiary of any of your assets. You can if you give it your inheritance directly to your son through your will or through a trust. Be careful to understand that if you have assets like property that name your spouse as the owner after your death that again you would have no control over what your surviving spouse does with the assets. You really should talk to an attorney.
