Is a widow responsible for husbands bills (which passed away in sept 2013) the bill was pd through medicare and started out in his name now has since comes in hers

Answer

If the bill was for essential medical Cate, the spouse might be liable. However. In most situations, a spouse isn't responsible for their spouse's debts, unless they acknowledged sang assumed the debt while the spouse is alive. The decreased spouse's estate is still liable, which might affect the surviving spouse's interests.

Good luck
