Ive bad credit & fiances is great. Can creditors put lien on property of my spouse once we are married?
Shanna asked:
We want to make sure all of his assets and credit remains safe. Say if he dies can they at that time seize the proprty and house? All of my bad credit will be off record in like 2-3 yrs. My debt is only 3 credit cards doctors and hospitals and no more than 12k owed.

If you keep your finances separate, there should be no issue. However, if you live in a community property state, such as CA, any debts after you married are shared by both spouses. It would be a good idea to get your credit in order before you marry, if at all possible. MadMan

If the debts are in your name only, they can lien any property that has your name on it (sole or joint owner). If the property is solely in her name, she should be OK. jlf

Anything solely in his name from before the marriage is protected. However, if he dies and you are the beneficiary of the estate, it becomes your property and subject to attachment by your creditors. Also any property you acquire jointly after marriage is open to your creditors. OldJimmy
