Intestate- legal spouse's liability
HELP! What is the legal responsibility of a surviving legal spouse when there is no will? There are no assets other than a car.
The car has a current loan- solely in the decedent's name. The spouse does not currently live with the decedent and does not have possession of the vehicle. What is her liability regarding the car, i.e. the loan, IL liability insurance on the vehicle, other people driving the car? |

Re: Intestate- legal spouse's liability
You need to close out accounts and handle the bills but you are not liable in most states unless you agreed to the debt. (in some states you are)
Stop by your local probate court and they will have forms and instructions that will help you to resolve this. It may be worth a few hours of legal time as well if it is all new to you. |
