My wife co-signed for her mother on a bank credit card. Now married, my mother is filing bankruptcy. Will my wife be paying?

If your wife co-signed she is liable for the debts. The person filing bankruptcy extinguishes their liability, but the person who has liability who did not file bankruptcy retains that liability.

If I passed away do my children still get my house if I never reaffirmed my loan if I am current and never been late on any payments?

Randall C. Romei
Answered by attorney Randall C. Romei (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Ashcraft & Ashcraft, Ltd.
The house will pass to heir(s) in accordance with the terms of your Will, if any. If you do not have a Will, the house will pass according to the statute on descent and distribution. A living spouse will receive an interest (50%) and the children will divide the remainder. Any mortgage securing the property will continue to encumber the property. Most mortgages have a due on sale clause that will allow the lender to force the sale of the house or refinance of the mortgage in order to pay off the mortgage when the original mortgagee no longer owns the house. When the lender discovers that you passed away, the lender will require the mortgage to be paid off. The heirs will have to make necessary arrangements or lose the house.
