What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WA
My in-laws racked up a considerable amount of debt 10+ years ago (to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars). After their house of cards collapsed on them, my mother-in-law filed for bankruptcy, got on some kind of payment program, and made payments for the last 10 years and just recently finished her obligation. My father-in-law did not file, and is still constantly harassed by debt collectors (not saying that he doesn't deserve this). My father-in-law is in considerably worse health than my mother-in-law, so my question is whether or not any of "his" remaining outstanding debt will be able to find it's way back onto my mother-in-law should he pass away before she does. I've been googling for 3+ hours and can no longer see straight from trying to figure this out!
Thanks.
