Sorry to hear about your friends husband.
With all due respect, this is something that she should have a licensed attorney in her State to help her with these matters.
Laws very from State to State regarding estates.
The best advice would be for her to contact an attorney.
Sorry for the short response to your question.
It should be noted that California is one of nine States that are considered Community Property States and Assets and Debits are handled differently.
I would suggest that she not take any action until she has time to discuss with her attorney all of her legal rights
dealing with assets and debt obtained during the marriage.
