Liability for deceased husband's bills
Question Details:
Inherited our home back in 1982. Husband is now terminally ill. Will I be forced to sell the house to pay for my husbands medical bills.
Hello. I am a Maryland barred attorney. I am sorry to hear of your husband's illness. Unfortunately, an attorney will need more information to adequately answer your question. Whether a creditor can attach a house to pay bills depends on how the house is titled, whether you gave a security interest to anyone and whether the creditors have gotten judgments. Depending on how a house is titled, a married couple may protect it in Maryland from one spouse's creditor , but figuring this out requires actually looking at your deed and the debts.
