<prompt> Human: My husband just passed last night. We pooled our expenses, and I handed some minor bills but he handled the majority of things, and the big items were in his name due to my previously poor credit score thanks to idiocy in college. Side note: thanks PF gang for helping me repair that damage. The house and my car are both in his name. We intended to add me to the car title and house policy, but being slackers hadnt gotten to it. He has a life insurance policy, but the holder wont disclose the amount over the phone, so Im stuck waiting 10 days for that info packet to arrive via snail mail. Most of our emergency fund was exhausted with medical bills leading up to his death. I figured out pretty damn quickly how to access the accounts he managed, but I have no idea what to expect and how to get through planning things from here. I have his cremation taken care of and am working on memorial arrangements, but what should I be expecting regarding our house? He didnt have a will, but being his spouse I assume it just goes to me...right? Or would it be sold to pay off any debts he may have? EDIT: Thank you so much, gang-- youve been extremely helpful during a very overwhelming time. Youre the best!  <response>: I dont have advice as Im not well versed in this, but I wanted to send my condolences.
