hi there,
me and my partner got together two years ago. she had two children to here ex as well as a joint account with £1800 overdraft and £2500 other debts. i spoke with her ex and i agreed to pay all debts off if he paid the overdraft (though he never worked). i payed all debts off. now however, he has unfortunately passed away. where will my partner stand with what still is a £1800 overdraft on a joint account?
thank you

I believe a joint account means joint negative balances as well as joint credit balances
. Unless you've got something in writing I suspect your partner has no chance of not paying, and even if they have I think it's unlikely. My opinion only, not stated fact .... 0 -
the joint account is joint, so your partner is fully responsible for the amount due
did he leave any assets ?0
