    Not sure what you are talking about,

    If husband passed away and had a lease, the estate would have been liable for the lease at the time of death.
    The estate would have to pay unless there was a death clause, if there was no money in the estate to pay, the estate does not file bankruptcy, they merely notify creditors there is no money in the estate and close it.

    If the landlord filed bankruptcy, and the late husband had a lease, I don't see how this effects the late husband, since the lease would have been long ago handled by the estate
