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

    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.
