It depends on whether you live in a community property state. Laws vary but generally, in community property states debts incurred by one spouse during the marriage are owned by both even if only one spouse signed. You need to check the laws in your state.
The community property states are Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin.
The wife would not be responsible in a separate property state.

You shouldn't be but you should seek legal counselling to be sure.
Well, you'll be liable for the loan, but that's about it, unless you had something to to with the so-called "accident" (which is rarely accidental, and more often the result of negligence).
That depends on what you're asking. Who filed bankruptcy? The owner of the car or the owner (holder) of the car loan? Did you co-sign on the loan? If you co-signed on the loan and the other signer files for bankruptcy, yes you are liable for the loan. If the owner (holder) of the car loan files for bankruptcy, you are still liable to the owner's creditors (and you need to find out who they are so you can get the lien released).
No, you can only be liable for the loan. If the car was totaled and did not have insurance then you can be held responsible for the balance on the loan. Any accident or damages that occurred would be the responsibility of the driver/owner of the vehicle. All your signature did was say that you will pay the loan if the borrower fails to do so.
If you co-signed the loan, yes, you will be personally responsible for the unpaid amount. if you did not co-sign the loan, your husband's ESTATE may be liable for the loan payoff. Talk to an attorney or the Probate Court for further information.
If you did not sign the document, and did not authorize anyone to sign for you, you should be able to get out of the contract. Someone, probably the person that asked you to co-sign, or the salesman for the vehicle, has committed fraud.
Yes if you co-sign for a vehicle you are just as liable as the primary person so if they dont pay you have to pay or both your credits are hurt
This question should be handled by an attorney,Any loan modification paper work signed after bankruptcy proceeding are a new contract which yes make you liable for that debt.
The person liable is the person who ignored the warning.
If you both own the real estate- yes. If you are the owner the bank may want your husband to co-sign.
No. If the form was a reference form, you have not agreed to any financial responsibility. A co-signer typically has to sign the Loan Agreement.
Divorce. If your signature was needed because of his bad credit, he will not get the car.
