We live in Houston, TX. If my husband or mother predeceases me, am I responsible for their debts - any individual credit or purchase accts they have?

Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet
Estate Planning lawyer at The Overstreet Law Firm
Your power of attorney has nothing to do with your mother's debts. Debts are generally addressed by the estate of the person who passed away. You may become responsible for debt if you were a co-signer or otherwise responsible for the debt along with the person who dies.  As for credit cards with your husband, that may be considered community debt.  You may write your wishes down, but it would be better to have formal Wills drafted to decrease the problems that could arise with any other type of Will you may draft on your own.

I was with my man for 14 years he just passed away am I entitled to anything?

Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
Possibly. You can claim a common law marriage if: 1. You were both 18+ 2. You agreed to be married (this can be inferred) 3. You held yourselves out to the public as married (i.e. he introduced you as his wife) 4. You were not already married. You would then have a claim to the community property portion of his estate. This is a fairly complicated proposition. Get legal help.

Would having a possible credit card judgment pending affect her chances of getting the reverse mortgage?

Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
You need to talk to a lender agent who specializes in reverse mortgages to answer your question as to whether an outstanding judgment will affect her loan application.
