I am the Personal Representative of an Estate as well as the spouse of the deceased. At the time of my husband's death he had a home along with a second mortgage. My name is not and was not listed on the mortgage loan at the time of his death. For a period of time I was able to maintain these debts but I am now financially unable to make payments and I am considering not paying anymore. Both accounts are listed as such The Estate of the Decedant's Name c/o My Name. I recently received tax info for both accounts and it lists the decendant's social under the borrower's social. I would like to quick sell the property so that I am no longer responsible. My question is one what are my options? If I walk away am I legally responsible for the debts? Can the creditors come after me for the balance of the debts?

It will depend. Is this also your homestead? You could sell the house and payoff the mortgage and be done with it.
