What is the name of your state? Missouri
My mother passed away in January. My mother married my stepfather two years ago. She had no will and no assets. Her husband had all the assets and her name was not on them to my knowledge. I am the beneficiary on her life insurance. Here's my first question. a) My mom's credit cards and one line of credit loan were obtained pre-martially and were in her name only. Is he responsible for them? b) He says since I'm the beneficiary of her life insurance, I'm responsible for paying them and has said the credit card company has a way of finding out who is the beneficiary of her life insurance and will come after me. Is this true? What can I do? He is very threatening. I think all in all he's upset because my mother helped me out financially over the years. I appreciate any and all advice.
