My husband moved to another state 4 yrs ago, left me with no money. I am 76. Will I be responsible for his medical bills?

Probably not. Might depend on which state he is in, but I wouldn't worry about it.

He is in WY.

I put in the "which state?" caveat because of a community property related concern. But neither Pennsylvania nor Wyoming are community property states, so it doesn't apply.

Is there any jointly owned property?

Thank you so much. I couldn't see how I would have to pay them, but didn't want to be surprised.

You are quite welcome. I assume you and he do not own real property together.
