What is the name of your state? Florida
My husband passed recently passed away at the age of 53. He was disabled and collecting Social Security disability benefits. In our 33 years of marriage, my husband paid the bills. I am lost. In going through all the mail (bills) I noticed credit cards in just his name, others in my name, or both our names. Am I responsible for the debt on the card that is in his name (over $14,000)? My husband did not have a will. Someone told me that I'm not responsible for this credit card bill. If I do not pay, will they come after our home (not completedly paid for), cars, life insurance through my employer, an IRA, bank accounts, saving accounts, or his 401K?
Thank you,
