Am i responsible for my husbands medical bills after he died

I am sorry to learn of your loss. True, unless you signed on as the party responsible to pay the account, you are not required to pay it, because the debt belongs to the estate of the deceased. If a formal estate is established, in probate court, there is a procedure for claimants to present their bills, otherwise, the creditors can not recover from you.

Attorney Weston, Are we sure that Indiana doesn't apply the Doctrine of Necessities? I'm not certain myself I just want to make sure we're giving 100% correct advice here..... Chances are you are right - I just wanted to double check that you were familiar with the Doctrine. Does any Indiana Attorneys know if the Doctrine of Necessities applies in Indiana?
