Not if the bills are only under his name. U are however, responsible for your own debts and "joint" debts that might have accrued under both u and your husband's name. Your husband's estate is responsible for his bills alone.

You should see a lawyer. My dad does a similar law, not this in particular, and there are a ton of ways to get out of things or move things around to save what you can. Contact someone real soon about your options, especially if your husband is still alive.

Not unless you said you were on the admission papers to the hospital or the ones you sign when you see the doctor for the first time. They can collect from joint owned assets. Don't let them bully you. Also you don't have to pay any of his credit card debts if they were in his name only only.

I believe that only if an estate exists - then the hospitals, doctors, and all other creditors can take the money from it. If you are barely surviving yourself, I don't think they can take blood from a stone.

No. You are responsible for no debts other than your own. The bills may be deducted from his estate, however.
