I live in Montana and my husband died 3 months ago. Medicare took care of most of the medical bills. Am I responsible for the rest as well as the ambulance bills. The bills come on his name only?

Welcome! My goal is to do my very best to understand your situation and to provide a full and complete answer for you.
Good afternoon. Montana is not a community property state. If the spouses neverresided in a community property state, and only one spouse signed the Loancontract (such as the contracts for the ambulance or hospital), then only the signatory-spouse isliable for the debt. Thus, the non-signatory spouse does not share in his orher spouse's liabilities in non-community property states.
