Gambling and Debt

What happens to your gambling debt after you die? Don’t believe that it disappears because your no longer here. People like to be paid and will go after your family to get what you owe them. Here is one very sad letter from a new widow who didn’t know what was waiting for her after her husbands death.

DEAR DR. GRAHAM: I always knew my husband liked to gamble, but when he died a few months ago, we discovered he had piled up tens of thousands of dollars in debt because of his gambling. It has left us almost impoverished. How could he have done this to us? Didn’t he care about us? — Mrs. D.Q.
