Shybruh | If a person committs suicide, does his/her spouse have to pay off their bills? |

If the bills are in both names, the spouse is just as liable.
In some states debts incurred during a marriage by one partner are the responsibility of the living spouse. (Community Property)
If the bills are in the deceased name only (and there is a will), his/her estate is responsible. The executor/executrix of the will works with the creditors.
PER ESTATES: In the wills in which I have been a part of, the standard is for the Executor/Executrix of the will to be directed to FIRST "pay off" the bills of the deceased from the deceased's estate BEFORE the survivor(s) get a penny.
When there is no will, the State steps in as Executor.
The estate = ALL the assets of the deceased. |

i wouldnt say debt goes to the closest relative, it goes to the spouse because they are married, if my brother died i wouldnt get his bills, if my wife died i would have to pay the bills,because they are actually OUR bills,we are married |

It depends on whether or not the debt is in the dead person's name alone or if the spouse is also listed as a debtor.
If there are debts incurred by the dead person solely and the dead person left money to a named beneficiary (and not an estate), then the surviving spouse may be able to escape the obligation to pay off the dead person's debts.
By the way, the manner of death has no bearing on the need not to repay the debt. |

Yes, in most cases this will be taken to court and the court may decide to set up a affordable payment program for you, the only way out is if the spouse had insurance. Or if the bills were acquired before marriage. |
