Advice re late husband's credit card debt

  • Can you find out if he had PPI on any of the credit cards. If he did, and they will not neccessarily offer the information, you won't have to pay them..

  • Thank you all so much for your answers. I will speak to the solicitor acting as executor about this once I have the final total of what he owed. He is a friend of my husband's too so I am pretty sure he will do the right thing by him.

    It certainly is confusing - but I appreciate the help from each and every one of you :-)

    And if the property is in 'tenants in common' as opposed to 'joint tenants'.

    As I have said this is a legal minefield - 3 different opinions from 3 people confirms this.

    Please seek legal advice urgently.

    If the property is tenants in common then the deceaseds share does become part of the estate.
    In my previous post I should have stated that I was refering to property held as joint tenants.

    As you say proper legal advice is needed not the opinions of a those on an internet forum.
