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.
