No, you are not responsible if you never agreed to pay or guaranteed those amounts. Children are NOT responsible for their parent's debts unless they agreed to be. Since your husband's parent's *estate* or the money, assets, etc. they left behind, however, would be responsible, if you received anything, that amount could potentially be recovered by the state. You may need to be prove that you did not receive anything, at which point the case vs. you should b dismissed; it would be helpful in doing so to show where the money actually went (at least to the best of your knowledge), so the state can go after the proper target(s).
