What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Massachusetts
Thanks for all your help. I will try to restate my question.
A couple lives in MA, their martial home which they both live in and ownership is in both their names, also they are tenants by entirety. The husband dies in 2003. However, there is real estate taxes due on the house they own together for FYE 2002 due at death and overdue personal State & Ferderal taxes filed jointly together due since 2001. When filing a First and Final Account on the husdand's estate, is the husband's estate responsible for the unpaid taxes or is the surving spouse responsible for the unpaid taxes.
Hope this clears up my question, thanks in advance
