What is the name of your state? Missouri.
Situation: mother with 3 children dies, surviving spouse not father of children. Missouri law states he's entitled to half and 3 children split other half.
Here's the question....Mother and spouse take out home improvement loan. Since she has died he is now responsible for the debt as he was a co-signer. The question is though does that debt become part of the estate simply because she was a signer on the loan? or is it now his personal debt since he co-signed the loan?
