bills after death

my husband passed away back in dec. We had been seperated for nearly two yrs.
I had paid for the divorce, it never went to court because of my lawyer. Anyway, i knew he was dying, i felt obligated to visit him, on behalf of our small children. Now his family has given all of the bill collectors my add. and ph # to send me all of his unpaid bills. His sister was his executor, am I liable for these bill?

My response:

Simple answer: "Yes."

The bills were incurred during the marriage, and even though living apart, you were not legally separated or divorced.

So, now you're on the hook, unless your bills, and his bills, together, are so inundating that you'd be better off filing bankruptcy.
