What is the name of your state? Illinois.
From reading this forum, I have found out that in Illinois I am not responsible for my husband's credit card debts if he should pass away (he is 70) when I am not on the account in any manner, which is fortunate because he has run up huge debts on fancy trips by himself, etc. Here is my question: we both have some credit cards with the same companies (Capital One and Citibank). If he passed away, would they try to add his debt to my account, even tho technically they should not? If so, would a letter from a lawyer be enough to reverse that action? Any thoughts on that would be appreciated.What is the name of your state?
