Ohio is not a community property state and if the debt is in his name, she is not responsible. The responsible party will be his estate. If the estate will have assets the cc companies may or may not put in a claim. If there are signficant assets or joint assets, your friends need to see an estate lawyer. Of course, if the estate will have no assets then the cc companies are out of luck. They'll have no choice but to eat the debts themselves.
