All SS payments, whether to the beneficiary or survivors are exempt from any attachement by creditors. A secured loan, however is entirely different. The lender can foreclose on property if it is defaulted on. The death of the borrower (or one of the borrowers) is irrelevant. There could be insurance, that covers the loan amount in case of death or disability. If the deceased is the sole card holder then it is unlikely that the CCC can collect from any survivors. Unless the state of residence is a community property state, then the debt is considered joint, even if only one spouse signed the contract. Property that is exempt is varied in type and amount from state to state. So are probate laws governing the estate and payments of the deceased. There are other issues that would be to lengthy to address in a forum. Obtaining legal counsel would be beneficial.
