Question:
My husband and I have always kept our money separate except for a joint checking account we both fund for living expenses. My husband has passed away and my question is am I responsible for his debts?
In the past my husband went through a bankruptcy; my assets were not touched and were separate.
Note the house is in my name only and was purchased by me
