Q: My wife Helene passed in Sept,2019. She has no assets and left no will. We had several small loans and bills she made.
But the bank keeps making me jump through hoops for her outstanding small line of credit. She had no insurance and I only get SS paying this bill is hurting me. I live in Oregon.
A:
This is a Probate Question, not Banking. You should repost so it gets out to the probate attorneys. I don't understand your situation. Your wife was in CA and you are in OR, so you are legally separated? If you are separated, why are you responsible for her debt? Her assets should be responsible for her debts, no assets, possibly not your problem. Did you sign on the line of credit? Then it could be your problem.
