After the death of a spouse with no assets and significant medical debt, questions arise about liability for that debt. Laws vary by state regarding whether surviving spouses are responsible for such bills, especially when medical debts arise in a marriage. While about 33 states allow creditors to place liens on homes for unpaid medical debts, many also have exemptions to protect home equity. Navigating these issues can be complex, so seeking legal advice or financial counseling may be beneficial.
