What is the name of your state? Indiana
My MIL has been separated (not legally) from her husband for nearly 10 years. They have two children together but they are both adults (24 and 26). Her husband died today in a fire and due to the fact that they are still legally married she's the one required to make arrangements and such. It seems as if that will all go smoothly as his family is helping and doesn't seem to be putting the screws to her. There aren't likely any assets. My MIL lives off SSI and does not own any property or any other assets. Because of this there's nothing to place any liens against nor can her income be garnished. However, can judgments be made? And would she be made to pay?
