Typically, any debts accrued by a husband/wife who dies, are to be settled by the estate. Since this normally passes on to the surviving spouse, any debts must be settled by the surviving spouse.

The creditor should be notified of the death of the debtor. The decedent's estate is responsible for the debt. If there are no assets in the estate the estate is insolvent and the creditor is out of luck. You should speak with an attorney before paying any debts that are solely in the name of the decedent.
