Question: Responsibility for Debt
My wife and I share a property with a mortgage. The mortgage is in her name. I live there and benefit from the property as my home. When my wife dies the debt will not pass to me legally. Is it right that I benefit from the property but do not share the burden of the debt if I die.

If there is nothing legally binding on you then you are not responsible for paying the debt.

And Allah knows best
