What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Yes I am in a quandary of what to do,,, I have been separated for 15 years from my husband, supporting myself...He is in poor medical health and he has Social Security and now is drawing on a union pension. He just now applied for state medical aid for this past surgery as medicare doesn't cover it all. My question is will I be held accountable for any of his medical bills as we are still legally married. If I handle his estate when he passes and then his pension comes to me, will that be cause for his bills to be sent to me? I could let his children handle his passing but then what happens to the pension as it is community property.
